Dear Readers,
I’m excited to share with you the latest issue of Illinois
Central Review!
This is the seventh issue since our first publication in
January 2022, and I am continually amazed by the new depths of creativity by
Illinois Central College’s students.
This issue is special for so many reasons. Namely, it marks
the issue with the greatest number of submissions from and publication of art
and writing by dual credit students. Overall, this issue features work from 16
students, spanning the categories of artwork (visual art and photography),
poetry, and fiction.
Illinois Central Review is
currently accepting submissions for its next issue, which will be published in
August 2025. The deadline to submit is May 1, and you can do so here: Volume IV/Issue 2 Submission Form.
Remember, submissions are open to all students taking classes
at ICC, including those in the Dual Enrollment and Strong Start programs
through Early College.
Finally, I invite you to visit the Illinois
Central Review Facebook page for updates and weekly
features of this issue's contributions.
I hope you enjoy this issue. Thank you for taking a
look!
In writing,
Melissa Grunow
English Professor
Department of Humanities
