Letter from the Editors

Dear Readers,

At Kiosk, we encourage students to reimagine art and literature and to embrace the connections between them. We’re proud to feature undergraduate work, whether it be a mystifying, genredefying masterpiece, a reinvention of style, a foray into an unfamiliar medium, or captured everyday moments. With each edition, we strive to encapsulate a spectrum of artistic talent, to blur boundaries by bringing different forms of art together.

For Kiosk 63, we asked authors and artists to put their dreams on paper. As the global pandemic, social isolation, and nationwide revolution reshaped our conceptions of the world, we craved a place for imagination to run wild. The artists and writers featured in this edition have whisked us away to surreal worlds and altered realities. In these pages, they delve into the mysteries of their minds, dreaming up whimsical fantasies, strange nightmares, elusive memories, and endless possibilities.

We would like to sincerely thank our wonderful staff and our fantastic advisors, Mary Klayder and Andrea Herstowski, for helping us create this edition of Kiosk. To our family, friends, and you, our readers, thank you for supporting our work. In this time of exhausting uncertainty, we invite you to dream with us. Close your eyes for a moment. Let your mind wander. Open yourself up to the liberating power of imagination.

Dream on.

Sierra Hunter
