Elan welcomes you to explore our 39th year Fall/Winter issue. These curated pieces venture across time periods, journey through personal depths, and traverse cultural foundations. Each piece present within this issue was crafted, selected, and edited by teenagers on the cusp of adulthood.

Our mission has always been to highlight these voices, and as we move into our 39th year, we will continue to do so. We encourage you to open yourself up to the possibilities of the impossible. Take the time to crack the spine and immerse yourself in the voices of young artists.

Signed,

Avery Grossman, Jaslyn Dickerson, Jamie Lohse & Jeneva Hayes
