Underground Pool –
Student Literary Magazine
for the University of the Arts
project
each year at the University of the Arts, students in the Creative Writing and Graphic Design program serve as each year's editors and designers of Underground Pool: the university’s official literary magazine. every issue features short fiction, poetry and artwork by undergraduates from all majors.
with the beginning of the 2020-21 school year, Underground Pool moved to an all-online format, expanding to include music, dance, spoken word, and more. the theme of the Spring 2021 issue was Containment; in Spring 2022, the theme was Returning.
in 2023, Underground Pool returned to its print format with the theme of Transparency, and I had the opportunity to be apart of it. in collaboration with another student + dear friend Kayla Klavins, we worked on the design and print production of this issue– with our fearless leader + director of the Graphic Design program, Angela Reichers, overseeing the entire process.
