Volume 19 (2022)
About Digressions
IMAGINE The Digressions Literary & Art Journal is a space composed of Nova Southeastern University students -- past, present, and future -- as they reflect on what they've been through, what they are learning, and what they hope for the future. It serves as a safe space for creative expression and connection. A safe space constructed by the submissions received from students, the input from various volunteers putting together the final product, and the engagement from our readers throughout the entire process. A safe space designed to encourage each and every person to imagine, create, and inspire their way through life.In Volume 19, we reminisce on the little moments; the simpler times that we have all wished to stay in for just a little bit longer. Simultaneously, we are also looking towards the future and what we all need to change for ourselves and each other to have the best experiences in life. Throughout the publication, readers can find art, poetry, photography, and stories -- both lighthearted and somber -- that instill feelings of anger, restlessness, nostalgia, and hope.
