A Letter from the Editors: Dear readers, Welcome to our new literary section! To say we’re excited is a bit of an understatement; we’ve been looking forward to this for quite some time. We live in a city of immense creative energy—a fact that undoubtedly has led all of us to this university, this campus. It is at once humbling and thrilling to think of how much talent is concentrated in these boroughs, and then to think of how much of that talent is in and born from this school. This richness of possibilities is heartening to be sure, but sometimes overwhelming, even intimidating. But where do you turn to on this campus to express yourself? If we were to poll everyone, we doubt we’d get the same answer twice. The array of choices is wide-ranging, and often deeply personal, even private, rather than public and collective. Our ability to utilize platforms uniquely and specifically for our particular interests in this city campus is a privilege we are grateful for daily, but it also has the effect of stratifying us, separating us. There are relatively few creative spaces for us to come together as a unified body of diversely talented student-artists. This is where we enter the picture. We are offering up a new, revitalized space for as many of us to come together and share our work as possible. We are reaching out to gather our community because we are excited about the possibilities, and judging from the volume of submissions we’ve received in the past few weeks, you’re as excited as we are.
