The organizers of Boston University’s new literary journal, Coup D’Etat, threw themselves a well-deserved party to celebrate the first issue. The letter from the editor in the inaugural issue quotes H.L. Mencken: “It doesn’t take a majority to make a rebellion; it takes only a few leaders and a sound cause.” The cause, in this case, is “a quest to save the campus from the slack-jawed maw of the mouth-breathing philistine.” And the result is an eclectic collection of poetry and prose.
