Porter Gulch Review is a literature and arts journal which features prose, poetry, and artwork submitted by poets, novelists, photographers, artists, and other eccentric individuals in the greater Santa Cruz area and beyond. It's created by students in David Sullivan's 1B class every spring at Cabrillo Community College. The journal reflects the diversity and creativity of our community. However, submitters are not limited to the confines of Santa Cruz. In addition to the 2,000 print copies that are given away free, there is a longer online version that includes the student's book reviews and critiques of that year's chosen submissions.
