About
The goal of The Mirror & the Lamp is to document the lives and experiences of those involved with the English Department here at Western Illinois University. Our creative non-fiction writing style highlights the individuality of our authors, setting The Mirror and the Lamp apart from the strictly journalistic style of Western’s student run newspaper, the Western Courier, and the focus on creative works in Western’s literary magazine, Elements.
