The spring term is coming to a close but not without an imaginative “pop” before finals, thanks to the creativity of PCC students and their contributions to a variety of campus literary journals.

PCC’s Cascade Campus kicks off the festivities. Beginning Tuesday, May 31 at 3 p.m., students and published authors will share their work featured in the current issue of Cascade’s annual literary journal, The Pointed Circle. The reading will take place in Terrell Hall, Rm. 122, with English faculty Wendy Bourgeois and her Writing 246 students hosting.
