We are proud and thrilled to present our first national, online issue.

Please use the navigation links on the right to view high-quality literature and art from college and university students all over the nation. Click on each title on the page for each category of writing to read the work. It takes a moment for some of the content to load, so please be patient.

This year, we received forty-seven writing submissions from nine different schools, and thirteen art submissions from five different schools. The editorial board did a blind reading of these submissions, carefully considering each piece without knowing from whom or from where it came. In the end, after much debate and hard work, the editorial board accepted nineteen writing submissions and six art submissions for publication. We are proud that these selections come from a diverse group of students attending a wide variety of colleges and universities, including nine contributions from Pine Manor College students. We look forward to publishing an even more diverse selection of excellent student writing and art in the future. We hope to publish a print anthology every two years.

Thank you to all of our supporters: Pine Manor College, faculty and staff from a whole host of colleges and universities, parents, and especially our student authors and artists.
