Floodwall Magazine

At Floodwall, we believe that creative writing can bring people together and challenge us to see the world in new and different ways. In 2012, a group of graduate students in the English Department started Floodwall Vol. 1. They published five issues of fiction and poetry by incredibly talented writers as well as interviews with world famous authors. The amount of work these students did to bring the magazine to life was enormous, and they kept it going for as long as they were at UND.

We don't want to lose what they did - so after some years of inactivity, we've sprayed down "the wall" and revamped it with an eye toward our students. Creative writing is still at the center of Floodwall's mission, but in order to foster a literary community on our campus, we think it's important to share the work being done right here at UND. Floodwall has always been collaborative, and UND’s writers, artists, and editors will continue to build this literary tradition together, brick by brick, piece by piece. Now in its second iteration, in an effort to showcase a variety of creative works from all members of our student body, Floodwall Vol. 2 publishes fiction, poetry, nonfiction, photography, and digital art made by students at The University of North Dakota.

The Cicadian

Welcome to The Cicadian

The Cicadian is an interdisciplinary space for creative scholarship, publishing works exploring nature-based relationships, stories of place, belonging and dwelling, and experiential and embodied scholarship rooted in relationships with natural spaces.

We chose the cicada as our namesake because they are an afront to the senses. They are intrinsically bound to place and to time dictated only by nature. They are world-wide cryptic masters described in works dating back to Aristotle and Homer and artistically rendered since the Shang Dynasty. They remind us to reflect upon impermanence and transition, death and renewal, patience, non-linearity and decisive timescales. Their long-in-coming molts remind us that change takes time.

We recognize this is an unprecedented time on our planet when our relationship with nature has never been more fragile. Ecological writing across form and function and rooted in place provides a counter-narrative to reductionist writings that assume nature as the ownable, manageable, exploitable fuel in our drive for infinite, yet unsustainable progress. We read much scholarship that strips the subject and its direct experience of its validity to speak, privileging an abstract, disembodied author/scholar in the guise of objectivity.

We hope to encourage a community of artist scholars and scholarly artists. A place for the intermingling of research, art, humanities and science. Resilient communities are diverse communities. Diversity of thought and expression are bedrock for The Cicadian. We strive to challenge the static and monolithic writings produced in conservative academic spaces.

We publish twice a year aligned to the summer and winter solstice, celebrating the longest and shortest days of the year. These times represent moments of change and also time for reflection.
