This issue of the MUSE is all about finding and using one’s voice. Communicating is not just about speaking. It is more often the avenues through which we vocalize. Some find their voice speaking the truth through the poetry of “spoken word” while others speak eloquently through the silence of the ballet. It might be the singular vote cast in the voting booth but when added to the other singular voices across the country can result in a deafening roar. An entire community might organize its shared voice to demand that the powers that be do the right thing. And, for some, using their voice means weaving words across a page to tell a story, to sell an idea, to encourage others to speak. All of these voices are reflected in this month’s newspaper.
