The Sucarnochee Review

"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it."
- Peter Pan by J.M Barrie
​If a Star Fell
by Donna Ashworth​
If a star fell from the sky
Every time I thought of you,
The world would be so dark
The night a deathly hue.
If a leaf fell from a tree
Every time I wished you near
The forest would be bare
A winter all the year.
If a wave stopped crashing
In every time I saw your smile,
The shore would be so bleak,
A barren rocky pile.
Established in 1974 and named for the Sucarnochee River that runs near the University of West Alabama, The Sucarnochee Review is published annually by the University's Department of English and History. We are student-led and student-edited and we believe strongly in the value of amplifying student voices. As a result, we proudly make space in each of our issues for new and upcoming undergraduate writers.
​
That being said, we are open to writers of all ages and at all stages in their career. We read poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, and we look forward to reading your work!
