Meet the Editors!
Letter From the Editors
Dear Readers,
Welcome to the latest edition of the Kings River Review, a literary journal that celebrates and provides a platform for the voices, stories, and creativity of community college students from across the country. Each piece in this issue embodies the passion, resilience, and diversity of perspectives that make up the community college experience.
We believe that everyone has a unique story to tell and particularly community college students bring a fresh and important voice to the literary world. From poetry and short fiction to creative nonfiction and visual art, the works in this journal explore an everlasting amount of themes with an infinite amount of possibilities depending on the day in which you pick up this journal. These works challenge, inspire, and connect us all, reminding us of the power of storytelling to bridge distances and bring us together.
We are immensely proud of our contributors, who have taken the bold risk of sharing their talents with the world. Their work is a testament to the creative spirit found on community college campuses, and we are honored to provide a platform for these voices to be heard. We hope that as you turn these pages, you will find pieces that resonate with you, surprise you, make you laugh and cry, or even perhaps change the way you see the world.
Thank you for joining us in celebrating the stories that define our time and a generation of community college students.
With gratitude and a love for art and literature,
Daniel Echeverria Lopez
