Congratulations to Brigid Wright for her beautiful design for the cover of The Bombadillion  - SJB’s annual literary publication! 

Brigid’s design depicts Goldberry, wife to the literary journal’s inspiration - Tolkien creation Tom Bombadil! The following quotes from The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien, were the inspiration for the artistic submissions:

“O slender as a willow-wand! O clearer than clear water!
O reed by the living pool! Fair River-daughter!
O spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after!
O wind on the waterfall, and the leaves’ laughter!”

“Her long yellow hair rippled down her shoulders; her gown was green, green as young reeds, shot with silver like beads of dew; and her belt was of gold, shaped like a chain of flag-lilies set with the pale-blue eyes of forget-me-nots. About her feet in wide vessels of green and brown earthenware, white water-lilies were floating, so that she seemed to be enthroned in the midst of a pool.”

The Bombadillion is now accepting short story and poetry submissions from all students until the end of February. If you've ever dreamed of being published, don't miss this opportunity! Email your writing compositions to Mr. Palmarin at [email protected] by February 29th.
