Where I’m From

By Emme Mackenzie

I am from

the expressions of my people

flattened nose and slits for eyes

leathery skin and cricks in my back

each feature of mine

a reflection of my family heritage


The Elemental War

By Kristen Zuchowsi

It began with the fire’s havoc, then rained the wild water. Next came the dancing wind, then the fumbling forming earth. At first everything was peaceful but the elements did not get along well.


what is a home...

By Connor Mitts

Is it the one place you can go?

the one place you can trust

those who are there

no matter where you are

or where you are going?



Is a home where you are always found

and lost to lose yourself in old memories?
