Submission Deadline Nears for Literary & Art Journal

February 9, 2007

Metamorphoses is a literary and art journal with a long publication history reaching back to 1989. Published annually by Cerro Coso Community College, Met features both established and emerging twenty-first century voices and visions from a variety of perspectives.

Met publishes poetry, short stories, creative non-fiction, reviews, and literary scholarship and re-produces art in all forms.

Met now publishes students and community members alike. Special consideration is given to pieces which highlight in some way the geo-graphic service areas of the college; broadly, these areas are the Eastern Sierra, Indian Wells Valley, Mojave, and Kern Valley regions of California. Special consideration is also given to lo-cal authors/artists and to Cerro Coso alumni and students, including distance learners.

The editorial board of the journal consists of Cerro Coso students and faculty members.
