The latest volume of the Stonesthrow Review, the literary journal of our Creative Writing Program, features dozens of original works by students, and art editing by Photography majors Eric Afflerbach '21 and Mikayla Millard '21.
"Cognizant of all we’ve lost, I’m also brought to think of all we have actually done with these past 365 days. All the things we’ve imagined, and made. These words, then, mark the passage of another year in this changing world. Tomorrow starts another, so—start now. Look for the words you’ll use to mark its going. Once you’ve found them, we’ll be here to share them. Count on that." - Introduction from the editors
