Time Chasers

By Gabrielle Fulton | August 1, 2022

He is dull, faded but not forgotten

Poetry

Infatuation

By Tessa Nelson | August 1, 2022

Love is such a beautiful thing.

Ghazal

I’m a little scared now

By Sydney Parker | August 1, 2022

You said it would all be alright

Nonfiction
A color photograph of an empty outdoor swimming pool at sunset. The trees in the background are black while the sunlight streams in from the blue sky that is slightly obscured by puffy clouds. The water seems to stretch on forever, the only thing marking its edge being a small, pale sliver of the pool deck.

Swimming Lessons

By Gabrielle Fulton | August 1, 2022

Step 1: Get comfortable in the water.

Ghazal
A color photograph of an uprooted tree by the ocean. The sky is grey, and the tree's tangled roots serve as a perch to three teenagers of darker complexion. The ocean's waters are churned into gentle waves, reflecting the clouded sky in a slate-colored hue.

Trusting

By Laura Rochedieu | August 1, 2022

You fractured my rose-colored lenses

A photograph of a snow-covered, soft sage green pine bough against a blurred background of a coniferous forest blanketed in a layer of new-fallen snow.

Snow and Ash

By Felix Everett | August 1, 2022

In the end, both ash and snow have their burdens.

Ghazal
It is a color photograph of a riverbank. There are swans and ducks swimming through the river towards the camera. There are weeping willow trees along the bank of the river, and the branches are hanging over the water, almost touching the swans' heads. The swans are in the shade, but further back in the photograph, there is a sunny patch of water with no trees to shield from the sunlight. It is peaceful.

Willow

It lets everyone know when the season is lush again

Poetry
acrylic decalcomania painting, abstract. From top to bottom, the colors are a light sky blue with a swath of white cutting through the center, a dark, bright pink which bleeds into the blue above, and a golden honey-yellow with warm brown dark values giving the impressions of feathers at the bottom.

Decalcomania

By Kimberly Yankson | August 1, 2022

One could only hope to take their preconceived canvas and transfer it over to a glass. 

Poetry

White roses

By Kaylen Reel | July 29, 2022

Since I was six, I hated white roses.

Nonfiction
A color photograph of a deserted parking lot just after dusk. The lot is lit by two streetlights, which cast the entire picture into an orangy glow. The lot is framed by trees that have been turned black, orange, and green by the streetlights. A row of black trucks are facing out from the left side of the lot.

Carrollton

By Jonah Chudzik | July 29, 2022

The hollow thumping of punches reverberated through my body.
