The first edition of the Roane State Rascal, the community college’s new arts magazine, is available online.

Visit www.roanestaterascal.org to view the magazine or download a copy.

Edited by Roane State’s Michael Hudson and Jessica Millis, the Rascal features fiction, poetry, art, and multimedia (online only). Roane State students, faculty, staff, and alumni contributed.

Fiction pieces were submitted by Veronica Castle, Tammy Castleberry, Alyssa Lindsey, Kassie Morgan, Fuzzy Orange, Larry Schneck, Heather D. Vandergriff, and Pat Wurth.

Poetry was submitted by Cynthia Beilat, Ryan Greer, Jennifer Jordan-Henley, Ken Malveaux, Christina Scarborough, Jessica Stooksbury, Heather Vandergriff, Hubert Walker, and Steve Young.

Visual art was submitted by Melanie Harless, Bill Horner, Rob Lane, Steve Maruchuk, Rocky McNamara, Rick Metcalf, Alli Schatzer, Sonya Thomas, Breanna Wright, Steve Young, and Steve Zhang.

Thomas Hughes, Minh Nghiem, Alli Schatzer and Jeff Snell contributed multimedia pieces for the website, which was designed by Jonathan Chung.

The Rascal is a reinvention of Roane State Community College’s former literary magazine, the Caney Creek Review. Hudson and Millis said they chose the name Rascal because “the word ‘rascal’ reflects our perception that effective artists rebel against the status quo and shake things up a little!”

The Rascal welcomes submissions from Roane State faculty, staff, students, alumni and from community members. For information about submitting items for the next edition, contact Millis at (865) 354-3000, ext. 2326, [email protected], or Hudson at (865) 354-3000, ext. 4329, [email protected].
