Blue Marble Review: Volume Two

In this coming-of-age anthology, young writers explore the literal and metaphorical spaces that shape our lives in a world with COVID-19. In a post-pandemic world, how do we reimagine our personal and public spaces? This creative writing book challenges readers to rethink all the places we inhabit—schools, communities, friends, families, workplaces, and more—and how they change with the passage of time. What do these spaces look like after the pandemic? Is the future hopeful, dystopian, or uncertain? Blue Marble Review is a quarterly online literary journal showcasing the creative work of young writers ages 13-22. Minneapolis-based writer and editor Molly Hill founded Blue Marble Review as a creative experiment for young writers. This second anthology features 75+ unique creative writing pieces, photographs, and artworks. This literary journal collection featuring young writers will resonate with . . . high school students who spent their early years learning from home instead of in the classroom, college students whose freshman orientations were online rather than on campus, and all young people who missed out on formative experiences due to lockdowns. In a time of much uncertainty and anxiety, these student authors—voices of now and the future—offer their humor, learned (or unlearned) lessons, and bravery to us all.
