Cut-Thru Review 2021 Cover
We are all reeling from this strange year. For many people, the pandemic pace of life has allowed times of retrospection. Those who consider themselves creative have written songs, poetry, and prose while others have sketched, painted, and watched the world through a camera lens. Even folks who do not consider themselves creative have gravitated to the arts to cope with fear and loss. COVID has demanded a contemplation of living, and the world is changed.
This is where Cut-Thru Review comes into play– again. As BSCTCâs literary journal for nearly twenty years, employees and students felt it appropriate to document pandemic experiences and other living. For posterity, for solace, and for productivity, Cut-Thru Review was resurrected.
