The Eckleburg Project

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.

Meteor Showers By Damaris Martinez

As they fall 
they turn to dust
Turn to water 
As they fall 
On asphalt 
splat 
Splat 
SPLAT 
It comes to say
Hello 
Old friend,
It’s been a long time 
Too long
Palms over 
Umbrella 
Peeking under
To see me 
Sigh a sigh 
Of relief
