Letter from the Editors We are thrilled to present this issue of the genesis magazine. genesis has been publishing student work since 1972 and is entirely selected, designed, and edited by dedicated IUPUI editors. This issue is filled with artists and writers exploring form, delving into immersive topics like death and fantasy, and appreciating the intimately human moments of daily life. Some are joining the discussion of art and literature that has been going on for centuries with ancient Greek and biblical allusions while others are creating entirely in the contemporary moment. All of the pieces offer vulnerability and creativity, and we are proud to share them in this issue. We would like to thank our editors and apprentices, who have adjusted back to in-person work with understanding and enthusiasm, our faculty advisor Sarah Layden, who is always a patient guide, and our contributors, who are the heart of this issue. We are also thankful for each reader and hope that you enjoy reading this issue as much as we enjoyed making it. Abby & Zoe Managing Editors - 3 -
