A tribute to “The Hitch”
by Michael Thomson | Christopher Hitchens (Apr 13, 1949-Dec 15, 2011) In a short story I submitted to Forum, I jokingly paid tribute a writer and personal hero of mine, Christopher Hitchens, knowing that the dreadful day would eventually come when he would truly fall silent.

Most of the Forum crew rolled up to Brainwash around the same time Sunday (November 20th) night. It was dark and cool out and Brainwash looked warm and welcoming…though it didn’t necessarily like a place a reading was about to take place.

Rosenberg 304
by Ayo Khensu-Ra | I cringe at the sight of myself, especially on video, so it was quite by accident that I recently came across a video of a Forum reading in Rosenberg Library’s room 304 I attended some time last year. The spring semester in 2010 was my first stint with Forum and this…
