It’s that time of the semester again!
We are so excited to have our launch party soon and display the newest issue of our literary magazine. We have put so much time and love into this issue in particular, and we are beyond excited to be able to display the incredible pieces that you all provided.
This issue explores the theme of the body, a purposefully open-ended theme. This theme was interpreted in a lot of different ways, some literal and some metaphorical, and we chose it for a number of reasons, the first being UAB’s reputation as a medical institution. This reputation means that there are some people who don’t realize the wealth of creativity that comes from UAB, and not just from the art side of campus but the medical side as well! We wanted this theme to be a chance for people who may not have had work published before to show their creative side. This issue features pieces from people from all over the Southeast, and we are so excited for you to get to experience their works.
Our launch party for this newest issue is March 9th from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. at the Hill Student Center on UAB’s campus. It will be a part of our Share Your Aura signature event that celebrates individuality expressed through any form of art and literature. We will feature poetry, prose and artwork, and will have a fashion show as well. It will be in Ballrooms C and D on the 3rd floor.
We are so excited to celebrate with everyone after all of the hard work that has gone into this magazine! I cannot wait for everyone to get to see this issue and we hope that you engage with it and reflect on it with an open heart. As always, thank you all for your stellar submissions. You have worked so incredibly hard on your pieces for this magazine and we are excited for you to see the final product. Please stop by and take a look when it is released!
