The UCM's Undergraduate Literary Journal, The Vernal Pool Volume 6 Issue 1 2019 is Live!
Message from the Editor-in-Chief, Daniel Rodriguez: "This edition includes works of visual art, photography, fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. Prevalent themes within this issue are the different perspectives and applications of human love, both negative and positive, and how it affects our lives in distinct ways; as well as the grounded introspection of character, dealing with subjects such as mental illness and identity. Each piece is equally valuable in creating the mosaic composition that was this issue."
