Fall 2022: Reflections |

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the eleventh edition of Voices & Visions. This fall, we chose the theme ‘Reflections’ in reference to the moment of post-pandemic calm that we’re experiencing here at Smith, and to celebrate our two core editors, Hannah Phelps and Sophia Bruce, who are graduating this year. This issue’s submissions were the most varied we’ve received yet in terms of form and experimentation, and point toward media’s increasingly central role in our artistic expression and how we see ourselves moving through the world. We’re so excited to feature an animated music video, a poem in a choose-your-own-adventure format, a notes app poem, photographs, and a digital painting.

Thank you to our readers for your continued support, and as always to our contributors for sharing your beautiful work with us– we feel incredibly lucky to get to put out this journal each year. If you’re in school we hope your semester was a restful one. Enjoy this issue with a cup of tea or your favorite cozy drink, and we’ll see you in the spring!

Sincerely,

The Voices and Visions Editorial Team
