PAUSE - The Art & Craft of Poetry
Launched in 2026 by students in EH 228, The Art and Craft of Poetry, the PAUSE team includes a student editorial board, a faculty supervisor, and generous support from the Provost’s Office. The inaugural issue features creative work that deserves attention and recognition. PAUSE encourages you to slow down and remember what makes you tick, what fires your engine, what refuses to be unnoticed. What makes you human.
“This student-led publication brings together a collection of short stories, poetry, memoir, and visual art that explores identity, growth, and the complexity of being human. Themes of self-discovery, love, resilience, and uncertainty appear in both quiet, reflective moments and in more surreal or transformative experiences. The photography and artwork add another layer, capturing both subtle, natural beauty and imaginative, otherworldly scenes that invite a closer look. Together, these pieces offer a space where emotion, perspective, and creativity come together, reflecting the diverse voices and experiences of the students here at Thomas.”
Thank you to the students who contributed their work. While this is just our first issue, we have big plans. We hope PAUSE will help build community by offering a venue for personal creative projects to be shared—now and in the future.
A new call for submissions will go out in Fall 2026. If you are a student looking to publish or help edit the next issue, or a Thomas College community member looking for more information, we would love to hear from you.
