I Am by Jeanine Blakeman '23
Student Editors Letters
As someone who has been an editor for the literary arts journal for the last two years and has been submitting since their freshman year, I have to say this year is one of my favorites. The submissions are so deep and it’s incredible to see all of the perspectives displayed by my fellow peers. This year's journal has given students the ability to express themselves in such an artistic manner. Coming out of a pandemic is one of the most challenging things “we” have been through. Having the beauty of art and literature to express ourselves makes us able to find a creative outlet and produce deep and complex pieces no one else has. I’m so excited to see what the future of the literary arts journal becomes and it’s my happy last send off. Thank you for having this platform to let me grow. I will truly miss it.

We, the Student Editors of the Forman School Literary Arts Journal, which ironically contains works of both literary and artistic musings, hope to have served you well in the coming pages. In other words, we mean to have properly and candidly represented the minds, eyes, and hands of our peers in their pursuit to bear a fraction of their soul to the community of readers at large. Let this be a display of the manifold breeds of intelligence—independent of academe—that have the capacity to flourish and inspire.

As a Student Editor, it's an honor to read and see all the amazing work from fellow Forman students. We had an overwhelming amount of submissions and it was very difficult to pick what would go into the Journal. I wish we could include everything. Although we couldn't include every submission, we worked together to put together a collection of the best pieces from our Forman community.
I hope you all enjoy the 2022 literary arts journal.

As a community we have unique talents that are shown throughout this journal in a wide range of creative work from all forms of art, many of which are a first for the journal this year. I want to thank everyone for submitting their work and for putting themselves out there for the community to look at and appreciate. Also congratulations to everyone who got pieces into the journal this year as your time and effort is well spent and much appreciated.
