Welcome to the Spring 2022 issue of Unearthed 

This issue features the writing and art of nine ESF students. There is poetry, nonfiction, and film. You will read texts that investigate the structural and philosophical wonder of trees, that consider our delicate relationship to place, that balance the rhythm of wonder, and throughout the issue you’ll find a continuous engagement through film with how we make sense of our own inquiries into the world.

The challenging fact for us at Unearthed is that we still often have to turn down good work that is submitted. Issues form their own shape. That said, we always encourage writers and artists to submit again in the future, and we look forward to another issue in the fall.

Please enjoy this spring issue of the magazine. 

Unearthed will return in the fall. We accept submissions year-round, but please see our guidelines for more explicit details, as we do not begin reading submissions again until September. Feel free to email us at [email protected] with any questions. In the meantime, enjoy this issue (scroll down to see the issue in random order).
