I. You left early, like always. Same time you do every day. The buildings hadn’t lit yet. The sky was a pale gray, the kind that can’t commit to any particular kind of weather. You hadn’t checked the forecast before you left this morning, so you didn’t bring gloves. Your headphones were in before you […]
I invite you to traverse the ancient desert; that southern wintry world, wherein I cut my teeth on the icescape, scrambling up rocky moraine, journal and camera in hand. I sat in the shadow of a glacier; partitioned the ether in my mind’s eye, drank up the liquid landscape, inhaled the burning cold; carved myself […]
Drip. Drip. Drip. After a downpour, remnants of the rain dribble from the trees to the ground, and the earthy smell of petrichor fills the humid air. At last, the rain has paused for a brief moment. The dark skies slowly lighten, rays of sunshine seeping through the breaks in the clouds as glimmers of […]
I still can’t bear to wipe away the tears and constellations you painted across my face All I see in the mirror is the unfinished painting you made of me: Untitled Sleep The best sleep is the kind you sneak away with My illicit affair She creeps up from behind and surprises me I’m stolen, […]

I walk along the river, wondering how the great poets claimed to love and how I might write this unordinary love letter. The idea of mimicking Shakespeare seems futile and unprepared. My mind momentarily errs as if to stop my aimless wandering, meeting me with a moment of clarity. Suddenly, I no longer remember where […]

Though Harvard is known for its academic excellence, students have proven their talents span across disciplines. For one, there are many skilled student musical groups on campus, and each spring, they come to the stage at Harvard’s annual Battle for Yardfest. Yardfest is a concert hosted by Harvard’s College Events Board where student performers showcase […]
At Sanders Theatre, performers dressed in concert black are ordered in rows upon the stage, their bows moving in unison. As the strings swell into a racing melody, conductor Federico Cortese’s audible and emotional breaths guide the orchestra forward, cueing the dramatic crash of the cymbals, the militaristic drum of the timpani, and the brass […]
