Our mission is to compile the best undergraduate fiction, nonfiction, poetry, art, and photography here at Cedarville University. Our focus is to showcase talented voices that explore the human condition in all its complexities and nuances. Our hope is to impact how college students think about and interact with art by publishing pieces which seek to, as C. S. Lewis instructs, “see with other eyes, to imagine with other imaginations, to feel with other hearts, as well as with our own.” In this way, we “demand windows” to investigate the experiences in our communities and understand truth from all our imperfections and beauties. Through critical empathy and creative expression, we seek to show the perfect need for Christ and his saving grace.
