Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.Abraham Lincoln (Speeches and Letters of Abraham Lincoln, 1832-1865, Firework Press, 2015)
Uncharted
The title, Uncharted, characterizes the writing, art, and photography selected for publication in the literary and art magazine at Arkansas State University-Beebe. Each piece in some way interrupts the pattern of convention or illuminates the dark corners of topics unexplored.
The 2020/2021 volume of Uncharted testifies to the resilience of ASUB students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This magazine includes a special section, "We Rise: ASUB Student Voices During the Pandemic," which documents the ways in which students and their families continued to learn, to write, to think, to create, and to live during this challenging time in our history . Uncharted is the product of a collective work between the Dean of Arts and Humanities; faculty advisors; student members of the ASU-Beebe Publishing Studio; Arts and Humanities faculty; and the talented student writers, artists, and photographers in the Arts and Humanities Division at Arkansas State University-Beebe.
We hope you enjoy this edition of Uncharted and that it inspires your own unexplored ideas, creations, and conversations.
