Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Students working on the campus arts journal decided to name the journal riverrun in honor of the first word in James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. Yusef Komunyakaa, who won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1994, is one of the founding editors who developed our core values. The book’s innovative style of reinventing the English language, as in the word riverrun, represents the paradoxical necessities to merge differences and to keep changing. But the book is also written cyclically, with the very last line feeding back into the book’s opening word. This fluid, cyclical nature implies that both convergence and divergence from the norm are vital for survival. Thus, the word “riverrun” must never be capitalized, as it is not capitalized in Finnegans Wake.
