Letter from the Editor

There's so much to learn about a people through the things that they create. As I scroll through the submissions for each semester, I feel as though Tm looking through a catalog of personal thoughts and private revelations. Each piece is a little corner of a soul, broken off and handed over like a peace offering—and even corners of the soul are big enough to fall into. So with every submission—each photograph, each story, each poem—I’m learning the stories and perspectives and inspirations of the people who have been so brave as to share their work with us.

Here we have gathered what we believe to be the best of those submissions, and what we hope represents the spirit of creation on DePauw’s campus.

So, creators: Thanks for sharing. Thanks for your courage in creating anything at all. And readers: Here are a few dozen souls to fall into. Try to learn something.
