Texas A&M's Official Literary Journal
The Eckleburg Project is the official undergraduate literary journal of Texas A&M University. We are an undergraduate organization featuring student poetry, prose, and art. Now with thirteen issues under our belt, we started with the idea that art should be free and easily accessible to the community.
Our staff is composed of undergraduate students and editors who select pieces to be published semesterly under a process of blind review. For information on how to join, go to our apply page. For information on how to submit, go to our submissions page. For general inquiries, or just to say hello, contact our organizational email at theeckleburgproject@gmail.com.
As always, we thank you for your support as we continue to foster art here at Texas A&M.
Sometimes
I’m too much in my head.
The wind is gently guiding me,
Keeping me company,
I mistake it for a hurricane.
The sun is warm on my skin,
A mellow reassurance,
It’s scorching me to blisters.
I’m walking on soft dirt,
Steady under my feet,
The ground is swallowing me whole.
I can barely move an inch.
It’s all in my head.
