MSU art and literature magazine to have virtual publication party, Tuesday

Submitted Photo Praise Okunbor and JoHannah Grosz are the editors of The Coup, Minot State University’s art and literature magazine. There will be a virtual publication party at 7 p.m. Tuesday for the magazine via Zoom.

Minot State University literary magazine, The Coup, will have a virtual publication party at 7 p.m. Tuesday. It will be hosted via Zoom because of restrictions due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Students will share some of their work during the party.

Praise Okunbor, a sophomore nursing major at MSU and one of the magazine’s editors, said the magazine includes works of art and literature.

“We have a piece titled ‘The magic theatre’s inspired by Herman Hesse’s novel, Steppenwolf. It is a self reflection written by Mya Temanson. We have other literary works about Minot, child birth and heart break. All of the works on this year’s issue are expressive and powerful,” said Okunbor in an email.

The other editor is JoHannah Grosz, who was the art director for the magazine.

Okunbor, who is Nigerian, said many of the contributors, like her, are not art or literature majors. They are people with different majors who enjoy writing or creating different types of art.

“It just shows the talent we have (on campus),” she said.

Okunbor has also written for the university’s newspaper “The Red and Green” and said she has also considered becoming a writer.

Patti Kurtz, associate English professor and director of The MSU Writing Center, is the advisor for the magazine.

“The Coup has a long history at MSU and I’m proud of our student editors and contributors for keeping the tradition going,” Kurtz said in an email.
