Dear readers,
It is my absolute pleasure to present the Fall 2025 edition of The Tributary literary journal! As per tradition, our Fall edition consists of work submitted from only Lycoming College students and edited by Lycoming College students. Check out the list of contributions here.
The accepted pieces for this edition ranges in topic, but every piece deals with identity in a different way, from personal relationships with the divine to retrospectives on life to essays on how we create the art share.
This is my first edition serving as managing editor of The Tributary, having contributed in my freshman year at Lycoming and served as the nonfiction editor my junior year. I’d like to thank last year’s managing editor Aiden Brown for giving me the opportunity to organize something so dear to me as the spread of love through art. I’d also like to thank the entirely new roster of editors, without whom this edition would’ve been impossible. Finally, thank you to all who submitted and to all who take the time to see what is possible when we can share in art.
With all love,
Chase Bower
