About this issue

This issue of elementia is dedicated to the theme of Cycles, something many of use were grappling with as we emerged from lockdowns and isolation to set a course to an uncertain future. Published in April of 2023, it contains 54 pieces of writing and 77 pieces of art. 

As the editors of issue xx note:

"Our authors and artists have explored what is left between the beginnings and ends, questioned the unbreakable systems we find ourselves stuck in and admired the simplicity of the mundane moments we often forget about."

The editorial committee for the twentieth issue consisted of teen selectors Supriya Bolla, Aryanna Gassoway, Isobel Li, Chinmayee Magesh, Jo Marshall, Chelsea McCollam, Emily Natanova, Sally Panis, Amanda Reyes, Ava Shropshire, Ariana Siddique, Neha Sridhar and Riley Strait; teen designers Supriya Bolla, Kenna Heller, Isobel Li, Ava Shropshire and Riley Strait; as well as library staff Cassidy Coles, Cara Duncan, Emma Fernhout, Cassandra Gillig, Kate McNair, Scott Stone, Jennifer Taylor, Angel Tucker, Hannah Jane Weber, and Mickey Willard.
