About this Issue
This issue of elementia, published in 2016, is dedicated to artist and teacher Lynda Barry, and to the theme of passion.
As the editors of issue xiii note, “Through her books, Ms. Barry guides us to bring passion along on a daily mission to enlarge the comfort zone. She writes and draws prolifically, showing us that working by hand with unselfconscious commitment is vital in building personal understanding of fascinating subjects.”
The editorial committee for this issue includes teen selectors Alexandra Miller, Blaire Ginsburg, Eunice Lee, Ehsan Javed, Isabel Nee, Rebecca Abraham, Rylee Wilson, Jaden Zhao; teen designers Ellie Grever, Helen Wheatley, and Reid Guemmer; as well as Library staff editors Angel Tucker, Kate McNair, Cassidy Coles, and art director Jennifer Taylor. Thanks to a partnership with the Shooting Stars Recognition, Scholarship & Awards Program, all 63 pieces of artwork and 58 pieces of writing published in issue xiii were created by teens.
