Pine River Anthology 2016

Abstract

As Alma College's annual literary and visual arts magazine, Pine River Anthology is the joint production of the Art & Design, English, and New Media Studies departments. This publication showcases works of traditional and digital fine art alongside creative writing, serving as a way to involve our college in a campus-wide exploration of the arts.

In the creation of art we are always crossing the lines of our individual media to draw from and, in turn, inspire other artists. Our theme, BRANCHING, celebrates this act of reaching across these categories to create an experience greater than the sum of each discipline on its own. In this magazine, we connect the realm of the visual to the realm of the literary, and complement pages and ink with digital elements found on our website. The result is a synthesis of the arts that, like the branches of a tree, never ceases to expand, transform, and thrive.
