This book is both a record of student creativity and an invitation. It asks you, the reader, to embrace instability – to allow yourself to be surprised, unsettled, amused, or moved. This anthology is an invitation to linger and to allow language to do what it does best: to make the familiar strange, and the strange familiar. Like watching a goat perch on a sheer cliffside, part of the joy is in not knowing quite how it will hold itself there, only that it does.
