Magazine Launch

We are so excited to share our latest edition of The Rev, the creative arts magazine from Russell Sage College, produced by us here at CreativityUnleashed Publishing. 


Below is our showcase from our editors who will be reading and sharing this work with you live.


We would also like to draw your attention to the various partners in our magazine this year, including Questar the III's New Visions Performing Arts program and Aralia Education. Please see the introductory blurb in the magazine, and the International Student Competition section on page 117, for further information.

Carol Ann Donahue Endowed Fund

A legacy



  • Memorial fund for Carol Ann Donahue (1946-1965), an aspiring poet, who passed away after her first year at RSC
  • Her aunts (Dorothy and Irene Donahue) partnered with Sage Libraries to create the Carol Ann Donahue Memorial Collection later that year
  • 20th Century British and American poetry
  • Hoping to create more enduring legacy than annual scholarship
  • Consulted on/contributed to THE collection and room
  • Dorothy Donahue established The Carol Ann Donahue Endowed Fund in 1974
  • Originally meant to ensure the collection had funds permanently allocated to its growth at RSC
  • Has since expanded to fund the Carol Ann Donahue yearly visiting poet, and  The Rev literary and Creative Arts magazine

If time permits, we will offer the space to our creatives in the audience who

have been published in print to read their work. This will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
