The Citadel - LACC's Literary Journal
The Citadel is a creative literary journal published by the English & ESL Department at Los Angeles City College. First published in 1962, it was expertly led under the advisement and leadership of the late Professor Sam Eisenstein for many decades. Currently helmed by Dr. Genevieve Patthey, The Citadel prides itself in highlighting students’ literary work in fiction, non-fiction and poetry.
The Citadel is an active journal featuring the creative works of LACC students. It also involves the LACC community at-large, inviting the neighboring communities of Los Feliz, Hollywood, Koreatown, and Silverlake and beyond to publish their works, in the hopes of fostering a community in the literary arts.
