NEBO: A Literary Journal
Abstract
Nebo, Volume 1, Issue 1 (Spring 1983), marks the beginning of a new era for Arkansas Tech University’s literary journal, as it transitions from its former identity as The Five Cent Cigar to Nebo. Published biannually by the English Department, Nebo takes its name from both the Chaldean god of writing and the iconic Arkansas landmark, Mount Nebo, symbolizing the journal’s dedication to creative expression and literary excellence.
This inaugural issue showcases poetry and fiction from both emerging and established writers, featuring works by Howard Nemerov, Dana Gioia, and Lily Peter, among others. With this transition, Nebo affirms its commitment to curating thought-provoking literature that explores identity, memory, relationships, and the complexities of the human experience. As the journal moves forward under its new name, it continues to serve as a vital platform for literary voices, embracing a legacy of storytelling and artistic innovation.
