一只垂死的狗。 一片落叶。 你在镜子里的形象。

不公正的痛苦。 那挥之不去的头痛。 时间本身的无限奥秘。

These are only a handful of the memorable images and powerful ideas expressed in the work of student writers and artists in 最近出版的2024年版 风潮, 澳门新葡京博彩官网’s literature and art magazine. 风潮 庆祝和放大了澳门新葡京博彩官网学生在所有情感复杂性方面的观点。

这期收集的作品的戏剧性范围从希拉里·贝贾尔的心碎的哀叹到安吉丽丝·梅伦德斯对目标的寻找； 从加布里埃尔·怀特对种族和性别刻板印象的批判，到米卡拉·布朗对黑人女性赋权的赞歌； 从妮拉·布莱克蒙凄美的渴望到诺瓦·斯塔鲁克对联觉的戏谑颂歌。 这些书面作品伴随着艾米丽·奥尔蒂斯迷人的幻觉绘画。 Whatever moves you, whatever you feel passionately about, there is something in 风潮 that will resonate with you. 作为一个合集，2024年的这一期反映了澳门新葡京博彩官网学生群体的多样性和校园文化的动态活力。

The new issue of 风潮 carries on a 澳门新葡京博彩官网 tradition that goes back many decades. 澳门新葡京博彩官网 has published a literary magazine since at least 1948, when it was called 螺旋形的. In the 1960s, the magazine was reinvented as 劳雷尔评论. Its name was changed again to 发现 in 1974, and it finally became 风潮 in 1977 under the supervision of Dick Allen, a 新葡京博彩 English professor who would become Connecticut’s poet laureate.

多年来，在这些文学杂志上发表作品的新葡京博彩学生已经成为成功的作家和诗人。 A review of a 1974 issue of 发现 in the student newspaper observed that “The poetry presented in the publication is consistently good, yet the works of 杰弗里斯金纳 and David Leff stand out as better than the average.” Today, 杰弗里斯金纳 is an esteemed poet, writer, and professor, and David Leff, recently deceased, was recognized as “在新英格兰工作的最有趣的作家之一”

Doug Swift’s early poems, “Snowstorm Following Stroke” and “The Old Road,” can be found in a 1986 edition of 风潮。 Today, Swift is a writer and professor whose 网站 includes a shoutout to his alma mater: “在澳门新葡京博彩官网（University of Bridgeport），我发现讲故事在电影和创意写作中都很受重视，我尽可能多地观看、阅读和创作。” 诺拉·波拉德 and 阿琳·斯威夫特·琼斯 are two other successful poets who honed their craft in the pages of past issues of 澳门新葡京博彩官网’s literary magazine.

现在，未来的诗人正在通过这些书页发出他们的声音。 阿比盖尔·吉隆·马罗金是一名英语专业的大三学生，她写了一篇很有影响力的短篇故事，讲述了她作为兽医技术助理的经历。 她描述了写这个故事如何让她诚实地表达自己的感受： “人们经常判断负面情绪，把它们分为好与坏。 对我来说，情感就是情感。’它们应该存在，应该被感知。” 她解释说：“写作是表达和处理情绪的好方法。”

Yemarah Dallas is also a junior majoring in English, and her powerful poem, “Crash,” ends 风潮 ’24 on a fiery note. 她解释道, “我喜欢写作，因为它给我一种控制感。 写作是我消化世界的方式。”

While working through their own thoughts and feelings, the student artists represented in the latest issue of 风潮 have given us the gift of their insight, wisdom, and eloquence. 与此同时，他们继承了新葡京博彩的传统，用他们的语言和思想建立一座桥梁，从过去的成就通往未来的不成文的景观。
