Texas A&M's Official Literary Journal
The Eckleburg Project is the official undergraduate literary journal of Texas A&M University. We are an undergraduate organization featuring student poetry, prose, and art. Now with thirteen issues under our belt, we started with the idea that art should be free and easily accessible to the community.
Our staff is composed of undergraduate students and editors who select pieces to be published semesterly under a process of blind review. For information on how to join, go to our apply page. For information on how to submit, go to our submissions page. For general inquiries, or just to say hello, contact our organizational email at theeckleburgproject@gmail.com.
As always, we thank you for your support as we continue to foster art here at Texas A&M.
The pair of twisted citrus trees
planted by my mother
in the summer when the grand oak fell
in central park
onto the kid
atop his bike
and crushed his spine
and cracked his teeth
and everyone, everywhere
screamed and screamed,
grew and grew 'til yellow fruit turned
viscous red in hue.
