ABOUT US
Haute Dish is the literary anthology of Metro State University. We showcase the voices of our student body, highlighting the talent and creativity from our community. See below for changes, events, information about submitting in our upcoming publication, and to view our past issues.
RECENT CHANGES
Throughout the campus, twice per year, you may have seen softcover magazines published in both the Fall semester and the Spring semester. This journal was a way to showcase the extraordinary writing and art talents of our lovely school.
In Fall 2025, Haute Dish expanded its horizons and anchored itself into the literary world by publishing our first anthology, a collection of poetry, memoir, and short fiction that is available at major booksellers and libraries. This year’s theme is the Future, and we want you to submit your work for a chance to be published!
“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.”
-from ‘Little Gidding’ by T. S. Eliot
New Theme: THE FUTURE
What does your future hold? What do you imagine the future to be?
As a Metro State student, you are building upon the next chapter of your life. Are you optimistic about what the future holds? Is there a utopia right around the corner? Or are we a step away from a dystopian nightmare? What was the future you imagined in your youth, and how did that play out?
Through your poetry, fiction, or memoir, bring that future to life. This is your story, and you get to create the future of your dreams or the future that exists in your nightmares. Maybe you are living in the future of your resilience. No matter the case, now is the time to share your stories.
We’d like to hear. Your stories, in your voices, in the way only you can tell them. In a poem, a story, or a memory. Visit submission guidelines for more information! If you have any questions, please email us at hautedish@metrostate.edu
