Letter From The Editor

Welcome to the 2006 edition of Harbinger! For over 50 years, the students of Stephens College have been involved in making a journal of literature and art. Our voices as women, writers, artists, and students have again created something we are proud to present. We add to the range of colorful and unique voices represented in our usual offerings of fiction, creative non-fiction, painting, photography, and drawing, by introducing two performance pieces. We are also pleased to include an interview with and art and poetry by Gladys Swan, whose talent and creativity have been an inspiration to us. Many pieces in this edition focus on the memory of home and childhood, while others concentrate on relationships and friendships. In all of the pieces, the specific details of indi­vidually lived moments, overlooked elements of the everyday, speak to us all. When I look at our staff this year, at the many different interests, personalities, backgrounds, and writing styles, the photograph used for the cover seems like a repre­sentation of us. Different colors, textures, and tastes creating something cohesive and whole. Thank you to the staff for all their hard work this year.
