Our second Literature Award Winner of Edition 42 is Evan Vetter with his piece (beginning of chat history). Here is a short excerpt of his work! (beginning of chat history) is so structurally unique, presenting a topic that is relevant to so many readers. The piece encapsulates how it feels to be entering a new stage of life and puts into words a feeling that is very hard to name. To read (beginning of chat history) in it’s entirety, check out our 42nd Edition! Congratulations again to our Literature Award winners!

For our 42nd Edition, was one of two Literature Award winners chosen by our editors in chief! His poem Bursting is an intensely beautiful and effortless piece of writing. Bursting is honest and vulnerable, yet tender and humorous at the same time, and we are so excited to be able to spotlight it in this year’s edition. Check out Dan’s piece in our latest edition and stay tuned for our other award winner! 📝🎉
