Welcome to 826michigan’s newest publication, The Circuit. Each workshop season, we publish outstanding pieces of student writing through this electronic quarterly. In our second autumnal installment, we are exposed to inventions inspired by nature, we see what happens when two monsters meet, we read some convincing “To Whom It May Concern” letters, and we travel the streets of Ann Arbor uncovering local mysteries. Read on and circle back next season to enjoy more excellent stories, poems, and musings as they are posted in line with the release of each new workshop schedule.
New to 826michigan programs? Check out our schedule of free creative writing workshops for students ages 6-18 here on our website. All workshops are free and open to the public, although some require pre-registration. Our website offers more information about all of our programs for young people in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Detroit—we look forward to seeing you at our next workshop. In the meantime, let the current of this issue of The Circuit zoom you away and back again.
This issue, we'd like to give special thanks to our Fall 2015 Workshops Intern Alexis, who connected each of these pieces of The Circuit together with her hard work, dedication, and attention to detail to make it glow so bright! Thank you!
