"The Journal of Ordinary Thought (JOT) publishes reflections people make on their personal histories and everyday experiences. It is founded on the propositions that every person is a philosopher, expressing one's thoughts foster creativity and change, and taking control of life requires people to think about the world and communicate their thoughts to others. JOT strives to be a vehicle for reflection, communication, and change. The Journal of Ordinary Thought was founded by Hal Adams is 1991." This edition contains poems, reflections, illustrations and photographs concerning food and the culture surrounding it.

Premiere Issue
Abstract: 
There is no question of the strength of the writing that has come from this city-Algren, Castillo, Brooks, Bellow, Farrell; Sandburg, etc. etc. But there was no journal striving to showcase that Chicago style of writing-a style that is so often shunned or misunderstood. So here it is...After Hours...a showcase of Chicago writers and artists. -taken from issue.

Abstract: 
"...the poems in 'BrotherKeeper' shine with a reverence for the holiness of things that is completely in the spirit of St. Francis. Not since Edwin O'Conner's 'The Edge of Sadness' have the joys and sacrifices of priesthood been so frankly and affectionately de-lineated."

Abstract: 
Over 50 students collaborated on February 16,2005 to put on one heckuva show. Their writing was a nice balance of profound insights that made your heart heart and clever observations that made your face smile. Students revised, revised, and revised some more to get their work ready for the stage. It was an arduous process, but the end result seemed well worth it.
