POLIS:
a community center (Greek marketplace); a place where a community dialogue
occurs, perhaps a sacred ground.
Welcome to the first issue of Polis, an annual
on-line literary journal for CVCC students’ writing that also showcases
students’ artwork.
The Polis Board advertised for submissions of poetry, fiction, and essays; works
were submitted with a cover sheet including the authors’ names but with no
names attached to the works. We were pleased to receive 53 submissions.
Each work
was then evaluated by at least three Polis board members using criteria
established by the board. When debate arose, other board members read the work
in question.
The board members spent a great deal of time to launch
this literary journal. They were involved with everything from naming the
journal to evaluating the entries. Without their hard work and dedication, Polis
would not exist.
We hope that Polis will continue to serve as a way to recognize
and share the literary and artistic talents of CVCC students. Enjoy the first
issue!
