Dear Reader,
Shaking off the dust, a hand reaching out from the grave, The Grail returns after 1.5 years away, with the apt theme of resurrection! In this special comeback edition, we celebrate the wrapping of October and the onslaught of cold weather with an issue centered around death, rebirth, and more. We are happy to report that while there might have been a short recess, The Grail is reinstated and ready to publish the scarily wonderful work of the student body once more. We’ve pulled off the cobwebs and ripped free from the ivy, now it’s time to get back into the action.
See some real resurrection in Finn G.’s poetry (3), while Henry M. pulls you in with portrait photography (3). Yours Truly discusses scientists and historians (and how they’re glad they’re not either one) in a delightful poem (6), while photographs of some haunting, somber crows are brought in by Henry K. (8, and also the front cover!), along with many, many more astonishing pieces.
This is our first issue of Volume XVIII, and we won’t be the last! For our next issue, The Grail will have the theme of invention. So inventions old and new, scientific and speculative, concrete and intangible, come one come all to the great Grail! Watch out for us on SB Info or on our website at reedthegrail.org for a link to add your submissions for our next issue! Until then, we hope you have a safe time, stay warm out there, and watch your step in any graveyards, especially at night.
Warmly,
Care, Adrian, Max, Robert, and Inez
