LBSU IS HOME TO MANY ARTISTS, THE FOLLOWING ARE EXCERPTS

Manchego poem

“She never hears more about war, or Secret tortures, self inflicted and snide. Yet it’s joy we find: but also cheeses galore.”

by Marcus Venyette

Untitled poem

“There’s a place where grey skies soften. Chimed in tune and harmony, where arms relax and white waves dilute, a retreat from breached brine. Across seas and beneath skies stuck between the blues. Distances are chords, one laid on the next, and the other added for more.”

by Isaac Wence

Epigenetics poem

“I’m not religious by any means, But the girl in me Still asks god Why I’m still being punished After My childhood was taken?”

by Meztli M. Morales

May’s Final Day Short Story

“Silence. Bitter and cold. Same as before, same as it’s always been. The world goes on when the dead descend.”
