Thank You Saxifrage 37 extends immeasurable thanks to the Contributors, the ones who made this book. To Judges, who volunteered their time and thoughtful critique of submitted pieces. To Copy Editors, who helped make the book the best it could be. Our advisor Jessica Spring can’t be thanked enough. Innovative, encouraging, thoughtfully critical, inspiring, helpful, and generally marvelous! She’s the real deal! Thanks to Sarah Wise and Corey Gilles for designing a fantastic fall submissions poster for us on Elliott Press. Thanks to Craig Cornwall for lending screen printing materials to use at our Night of the Arts event. And thanks to ASPLU for working with us on the Cave reservations. Leadership Advisor Amber Baillon helped us find our feet and run this year. Media Board provided the forum for growth, accountability, and teamwork. For this, and more, we say thank you. Kenny Creech of Johnson-Cox Printing Company was our printer extraordinaire. We thank him and the staff of Johnson-Cox for constant communication, patience with our requests, and a job well done. To past editors of Saxifrage, you gave us the tradition and passion. To educators who train and encourage – all thanks to you. We needed the support of our friends and family, and are so grateful for it. And last but most, thank you reader, the reason for it all.
