Thistle: 1983

Description

The Thistle was the main student literary magazine that was published between 1957-1983. By the late 1960s, even The Thistle had it's own edgier offshoots such as Rabadash (1968-1969) and Wooster Survival Manual (1969).

This edition of The Thistle was published in 1983. The cover features a sketch of a woman studying by candlelight on sepia-toned paper. The very first page lists the editor, David R. Means, as well as other executive staff. This page is followed by the tables of contents, which list the titles of the pieces and the authors. This edition of The Thistle is composed entirely of poetry. The poems are broken up by drawings, art, and photographs that sometimes correspond with each poem. The topics and themes of the poems are not united around a central theme and cover a variety of topics. Topics covered include love, nature, politics, race, religion, and childhood.
