The words unspoken

Makayla Hernandez | Friday, November 11, 2022

Sometimes, I wish I could fly. Because to fly would mean to be free, and that is something my body desperately yearns for. I often dream about what freedom would taste like. Would it be a sweet nectar, smooth against my cheek? Or would it be bitter, dark and earthy — something that gets stuck

Hanif Abdurraqib: Someone we can all learn from

Claire Lyons | Monday, October 3, 2022

The difficulty in discussing Hanif Abdurraqib’s work lies in the fact that I cannot describe his artistic mission as eloquently as he can. He is the type of writer that I think everybody strives to be: ambitious but not pretentious, emotional but objective, disarming but doesn’t leave too much of himself on the page, etc.

Can you speak louder?

Elizabeth Prater | Wednesday, February 16, 2022

Growing up, I was always the shy kid in the classroom. Even if I knew the answer or wanted to contribute an idea, my lack of confidence and spiraling thoughts would prevent me from communicating what I wanted to say. I suppose that’s why I turned to writing; documenting my ideas in a way that

Genevieve Coleman | Friday, November 19, 2021

When English professor Sister Eva Hooker had the chance to create a new course during her last year at Saint Mary’s, she told department chair Ann Marie Short she wanted to focus on good books. “I’ve always wanted to do a course like this, but never really had a chance because I was doing the

Maude Latour: Campus lyricist

Sarah Kikel | Thursday, March 25, 2021

If there were a college poet laureate, I would nominate Maude Latour. A songwriter who studies philosophy at Columbia University, Maude has been deeply inspired by her life on campus, and her music weaves together imagery that is both biographical and derived from her exploration of classic literature. Her lyrics are a lot like Sappho’s

‘World of Wonders’: A look into the wonders of nature

Lexi Kilcoin | Thursday, March 11, 2021

Imagine for me, if you will, the scent of a corpse flower. It likens to a pile of diapers rotting in the sun, mixed with rotten blue cheese dressing. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the pleasure of smelling this infamous stench, but this is the description according to Aimee Nezhukumatathil in her new book of prose,

More than a bookseller: the revolutionary legacy of Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Colleen Fischer | Wednesday, March 3, 2021

There’s an interview with an aging Allen Ginsberg. I remember watching it as a teenager on my parents’ couch with the impossible close shot and indifference to what they are meant to be talking about when Ginsberg addresses something I had been wondering for years, “Why did so many of the beats die young?” He

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
