Released in April of 2014, and edited by Courtney Leigh Jameson and former CSUSM student Kathryn Gutting, the inaugural issue of White Stag focuses on the theme, “Lead Them To The Otherworld,” centering around the white stag’s role in Celtic mythology as a symbol that the Otherworld (a world belonging to spirits and souls) is imminent. Four of the contributing authors who lead us through the journey of Volume I, Issue I will be reading their work: Clare FitzPatrick hails from the San Francisco Bay Area and specializes in the short story. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing and has a penchant for burritos, Halo, the Lion King, and expensive bourbon. She currently lives in a tiny apartment with an awful dog and works for Google. Keith McCleary is a writer and graphic artist from New York. He is the author of two graphic novels, Killing Tree Quarterly and Top of the Heap, and his visuals and prose have appeared in such places as Heavy Metal, theNewerYork, Flash, Weave, and Pseudopod. His serial narrative The Gothickers, co-written with Sophia Starmack, was featured the Chicago Center for Literature and Photographys audio series Podcast Dreadful. In addition to finishing his MFA degree and teaching on comics at UCSD, he is currently trying to be the best Shadowrun GM he can be. Hanna Tawater is an MFA candidate at UC San Diego. She is in the process of completing her first book of poetry ‒ an attempt to unite, among other things, cartography, serpent mythology, quantum physics, and Jay-Z. She performs and works with other writers in the larger San Diego community as often as San Diego lets her. Her current publications can be found in The Radvocate, New Delta Review, and White Stag.
