A Note from the Editors

We thank you for taking the time to read the Spring 2023 edition of the DazedStarling:Unbound. For our fifth issue, we are pleased to present a collection of poems, short stories, and art that speaks to the theme of rebirth, hope, and freedom submitted by the inspired students, faculty, and friends of CBU.

The pieces in the journal celebrate not life itself, but the beauty of transformation that lies within it. Like a butterfly, life goes through stages, morphing and changing until it evolves into something new. Through their poetry, fiction, and art, these writers and artists have brought our vision to light. These pieces express themes of love, loss, and redemption, which reflect the renewal and the changing tides of life.

We hope you enjoy this issue of TheDazedStarling:Unbound.

Sincerely,

TheDazedStarling:Unbound Editorial Team
