ABOUT US
Xanadu Literary Magazine is Lehigh Carbon Community College’s student run magazine. Our writing and photography is brought to us by LCCC’s Creative Writing course and edited by our Literary Magazine course both run by Professor Anne Ryan. Our name “Xanadu” is inspired by the poem “Kubla Klan” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge which you can read below! We hope you enjoy our magazine as much as we do.
