Vol. IX: “POP!” is the intersection of tradition and trend. Whether satirizing an overused metaphor in poetry or confronting violence in Gaza, these pieces are made relevant both by their immediacy and because they are rooted in the human experience. We hope you’ll find moments that will surprise you, inspire you to think outside of your bubble, or maybe even reference some of your favorite songs.
