About Digressions
IMAGINE The Digressions Literary & Art Journal aspires to be a safe space to all of Nova Southeastern University’s students. A space where students can submit their creative pieces to express themselves, their ideas, and their experiences.CREATE The Digressions Literary & Art Journal aspires to be an arena of collaboration. An arena where editors, reviewers, and contributors can come together to make the best publication of student work possible.
INSPIRE The Digressions Literary & Art Journal aspires to be a collection that readers will take with them as they go through life. A collection of pieces that motivate, influence, and connect audiences with different experiences.
And this couldn’t be any truer of this volume, Volume 18. This past year saw a lot of changes happening – the COVID-19 pandemic, large-scale political unrest worldwide, a global human rights initiative, natural disasters, and so much more. So, it really comes as no surprise that our submissions were filled with reflective and reactive works. We encourage you to take your time to vibe and experience this wonderful collection of art, photography, narratives, and poetry that our brave contributors have put forth.
