Well readers, it’s that time of summer again–the time of summer you don’t quite admit is there because summer exists as a timeless entity anyway: summer is halfway over. Actually, it’s a little more than halfway over. In a month and a week we’ll have to fill our backpacks with pens and notebooks, and finally sit down to finish that summer reading.

As the new school year approaches, we are proud to bring you some pieces of work from last year that we created with our artists-in-residence. Summer is a time to proceeding forward with life, relaxation, and activities that got thrown to the sidelines during the school year. Summer is also a time for reflection about the writing we’ve done and the writing we hope to continue to make. Enjoy!
