Swallow the Moon

A journal for the students of OU by students of OU.

Over the years we have enjoyed thousands of
contributions from authors, photographers, and artists.

Our spirit and love for writing and creating is the primary reason
we continue sponsoring students—to ensure that they have a
space to share their talents with others.

We welcome fiction, non-fiction, poetry, language pieces, photography, and artwork.

We continue evolving to be a platform for every student to share their
interests and accomplishments, regardless of major or class standing.
