Just as the first man of letters Petrarch sprinkled the seeds for humanism, we too weave our own narratives, fingers grasping around worlds transcending the walls of reality. We celebrate your challenging of conventions and arbitrary rules, a non-conformity to mainstream thought. By youth and for youth, we embrace all styles and genres of writing — prose, poetry, essays, etc. — and hold steadfast to the belief that you are seen. We understand that our words, weighty and powerful, are our lifelines, our catharses, our loaded guns, as George Orwell phrases. We invite you into our community.
