About this Issue
This issue of elementia includes three special features spotlighting teen writers Leslie Goodwin, Zoë Christianson and Brooke Shippee, with a short biography and written work by each. The issue, released in Fall 2007, includes 38 pieces of writing and seven pieces of art.
Editor Angel Tucker notes in the introduction,
“It’s the opposite of writers’ block, when your thoughts over bloom and it becomes impossible to pick the best words to convey, to reveal, to display all it is you hope to say. I say you, but I mean me. Ideas are like journeys, in that you can’t ever be sure where they will lead. Shall we relish in that notion alone? Yes. Let’s. Enjoy.”
The editorial committee for the fifth issue consisted of teen selectors Tommy Gray, Leslie Goodwin, Jaden Gragg, Matt Bennett, Kaitlynn Hager, Jenna Hager, and Imaria Corrick; library staff selectors and designers Angela Parks, Jennifer Taylor, Cindy Cai, Katie Manning, Theo Goodloe; and staff editor Angel Tucker.
