Litmag’s mission is to nurture the creativity of the students, staff, and alumni of UMSL by providing a space to showcase the diverse literary and artistic talent on our campus. We aim to provide an inclusive, professional and high-quality publication free of charge to UMSL and the local community. Dear Reader, On behalf of the editorial staff and myself, welcome to the 2024 edition of Litmag. With this year’s publication, our team sought to find honest expressions within familiar forms of writing and art. Litmag has driven discussion and craftsmanship. This year’s staff truly selected thoughtprovoking pieces. Curiosity compels us and literature binds us together; it’s in that we ask our readers to find warmth in the depth of these pages. Maybe it’s the crushed velvet of a worn rug beneath your toes or the humming flicker of melting candle wax that envelops your creative spirit. Maybe it’s the springtime floral or migrating autumn fauna that stirs ambition inside you. Breathe, harness this feeling. We ask that you take comfort in this publication; that it be a place for self-discovery. Be prepared to have your beliefs stretched while strengthened by our authors’ works. As always, leap into the moment and bury yourself within the read. Truly, Dana R. Pierson Editor-in-Chief
