Readers and Writers,
In this season of commencement speeches, we’ll keep this short and try to remain cliché free, even though while reading through our many writing submissions we are tempted to tell our talented writers— Oh the places you’ll go!!— the great news being, they are already on their way.
This is one of our largest issues to date curated by students and writers local and far flung who were willing to read thousands of words, respond to late night emails, and meet up to talk about essays, poems and stories. We’re proud to put this collection of summer reading in easy reach of your phone or laptop.
Thank you Arushi, Isabella, Kate, Maya, Priscilla, Alexa, Faith, the Minnetonka Writing Center Staff, Sumy Designs, Fuzion Print, Sandhill Studio LLC, ALL OUR STUDENT SUBMITTERS, and our grant givers for helping us get these words and images out into the world.
Happy Summer!
