Understory is an annual publication supported by the
Department of English at the University of Alaska Anchorage.
Special thanks go to former Provost Elisha “Bear” Baker for
his generous support of Understory and to LitSite for funding
the prizes and helping with general operating costs.
The journal showcases literary and artistic works by
undergraduates, provides students with practical
experience in producing a literary journal, and
fosters relationships between graduate and
undergraduate students and faculty.Staff / Letter from the Editors / Contentment / In The Well / Curiosity / Things We Remember / Staring at the Sun / A Perfect Match / Chickadee / Ethereal / Quaking Aspen / Window of Opportunity / Feeling in Color / Isle in the Sky / Energy / Out of the Dark / Monster / Bout / Comeback Kid / Regurgitation / Real Men Smoke Reds / Cotton Candy / Evolutionary Hypothesis / Fondness / Happisery / The Hanged Man / Exist / Feed / Suicide Dream / Ebb Twister / November / Pansy / Myopia / Clipped Wings / Contentment pt ii / Contributor
