Volume 6, Spring 2006
Dogwood 2006 is dedicated to Rev. Jeffrey P. von Arx, S.J., President of Fairfield University, and stalwart supporter of the arts. This issue contains poetry through which the reader experiences weather and wind, ponders ancient mysteries of pre-history, and keeps step with professional dancers. The fiction ranges from an exploration of sexual discovery, to a journey of adolescence in the modern South. Jeffrey Mongrain is the featured artist.
