The Island Fox Journal 2024

From the 2024 Island Fox Staff:The Island Fox as a journal is an opportunity for CSUCI students to learn how to build a physical publication, including selecting pieces, theming, designing each page, working with publishing and printing companies, and learning how to work as a team to undertake such a long and complicated process within one semester. Yet, beyond these essential parts of creating a physical copy, there is so much more. In building The Island Fox from the ground up, each staff member's creative expertise and preference play a part in creating a total synthesis between the team members. In the end, we create something truly unique with the submissions we receive, but throughout the process, we gain a deeper respect for creative work and how those works require the utmost respect in their presentation to the world. More so, we gain respect for each other as fellow creatives in our endeavors to show that work. It is beautiful to see a group come from all different interests and find appreciation for the creative process and the literary and visual arts that we so dearly cherish, and we hope that you, dear reader, also find the same respect that we have.We would like to thank all the authors and artists who submitted work for the 2024 edition of The Island Fox, with the deepest appreciation for allowing us to create an anthology displaying the creative diversity of our community. It excites us that we can present our team's hard work to you, and we hope you enjoy it. We'd also like to thank our faculty advisor, Adam Gilson, for being an inspiration and a true mentor to learning through this process. Thank you, and we hope you enjoy the 2024 Island Fox!
