Reflections from T-Bridge

About This Publication

Reflections from T-Bridge is the class publication for English 492, Senior Seminar in Writing, offered at Heidelberg during Fall 2004.

The major writing projects published here represent the culmination of these students' writing careers at Heidelberg.

This year's publication features a solid slate of creative writing, though two of the pieces are more accurately labeled semi-autobiography.

Other than formatting the text for the website, the editor takes no responsibility for the writing published here.

If you'd like to find out more about this publication or about writing at Heidelberg University, feel free to contact Dave Kimmel, Associate Professor of English.
