There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"I think I was drawn to poetry because of its compression, distillation, the metaphorical imagination, and the possibilities of the music, the cadences, the rhythms of our tongue, our rich and supple American English," said Thomas N. Lux, a professor in the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture. In an exclusive interview, Lux reflects on his experience writing non-fiction for the San Diego Reader, continuing, "I didn’t know how to write non-fiction! I’ve always been a prodigious reader of general non-fiction, history, biographies, novels, natural history, etc. but I had no idea how to write it."
