FICTION
The Fiction Editors have chosen works that encapsulate not just the theme of Venture’s Spring 2024 edition, but also what it means to be human, and what it means to heal. Breaking the cycle, coming of age, finding new life in the darkest spaces, or finding out it was never there at all. There is no such thing as a beginning without an end before it. Like the sun after a starless night, like a bird rising from the ashes, these stories show what it means to start over again.
NONFICTION
The Nonfiction Editors carefully read through every piece, but the three you are about to read stood out the most. Here you will find heartfelt pieces that are bound to tug at some strings and possibly cause some tears. You can expect three very different narratives, all heartfelt and beautifully written.
POETRY
The Poetry Editors selections evoke the vibrance and imagery aligned with our Spring 2024 themed edition as well as brought up valuable discussions. While you may not see yourself in a specific work, they hope you enjoy exploring new perspectives, challenging your expectations, and visiting new genres, contents, and emotional journeys. Immerse yourself in these freshly published works as Venture itself is once again reborn.
