Let's Review, Shall We | The Breeze

Posted on 27 September 2011.

The Wignall Museum played host on Sept. 23rd, for the celebration of The Chaffey Review Vol. 6 release. The catered party's entertainment consisted of live music, poetry reading and even a craft table. A free event, open to the public, as a way of introducing new readers to book and thanking supporters of previous volumes. The evening began with a performance by the local band 'The Slator Sisters'. An amazing local band, featuring two young female lead singers/acoustic guitarists, backed up by drums, base and electric guitar. The band immediately gained the attention of everyone with their beats and harmonies, untill the speakers went out. But what would you expect from musicians?... Maybe a 'mic-check'. The evening moved along with Chief Editor, Jules Ebe, taking the podium and making introduction of the staff members of the 'Review'. Acknowledging of each persons involved, with a brief, sentimental description of what each persons contribution. She then spoke briefly about the Review itself. "We're so proud to be on our sixth issue. This literary journal has brought so many wonderful artists together." Ebe said. "It's amazing what these people produced." Immediately after the acclimation, Ebe invited some of the poets to take the mic to read some of their work for everyone. Some of the poetry read was featured in the book. Some of the writers material had been written especially for the occasion. People began interacting with each other humorously as parents "ear-muffed" their children during the more explicit poems. Laughing and heckling, in jest to the reader. After the poetry 'The Slator Sisters' band finished their set, and were immediately followed by the next band, 'Teleplay.' 'Teleplay' ended the night of entertainment. Stirring the crowd, with their 'Killers' like music, into a dancing frenzy. Artists, contributors, readers, writers and even the children danced the rest of the night away in celebration of the new book. The journal itself is a collaborative book, combining different types of art in one collection. From poems, shorts stories, creative non-fiction to photography, graphic art, and fine art. Promoting literature and fine arts, it is published by the students and faculty of Chaffey College. Providing effectual experience for students to learn about the publishing industry. The Chaffey Review Vol. 6 is available online, at chaffeyreview.wordpress.com. They are also excepting submissions for their volume 7 journal.
