By Rebecca Dow (I’m excited!)

Hello everyone, my name is Becca and it’s a pleasure to be writing for SMCC’s school paper! I am currently overseeing The Beacon’s poetry column for this fall, and I am eager to read and publish your work; this section is a place where ideas can converge into a medley of literary gold! Occasionally, I will call for a theme [spooky, family oriented, personal (anonymity is an option)], so please feel free to contact me with your suggestions and submissions. Students, submit your poetry to rebeccadow@smccme.edu or through message via the SMCC app. Let’s discuss the musings of our minds! Personally, I love to witness others’ art, especially when it’s channeled through a medium that they love. Even if it’s not poetry, I could incorporate student-created images to decorate this column, as well as place YouTube links somewhere in this section leading to short performances of student-made content. The sky is the limit when it comes to creativity!
