MUSE Literary Journal
MUSE Literary Journal
Each spring students release a new edition of MUSE — a diverse collection of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction/memoir, art and short interviews. First published in 1986, the journal welcomes contributions from new, emerging and established writers and artists from RCC, our region and around the world.

in scholarships and honoraria to RCC student writers and artists.
