Great!

Guildscript is a magazine of poetry and prose, 
fiction and non-fiction, drawings, photographs and collages. 
Guildscript authors and artists express ideas 
about love and heartbreak, triumph, anger, sorrow and friendship. 
It's a cross-section of Columbia students 
who share a passion for creative expression. 
It's imagery and symbolism. 
In a few words, Guildscript is about the struggle to uncover truth. 
Guildscript contributors take the truths they experience 
and move them from their minds into their hands and pens. 
They put these truths on paper to breathe them into existence. 
These truths live in the pages of our magazine, 
for those who dare to read it.  
Thank you for being one who dares to confront the truth.

Bravo to all the students who dared to compose, to reveal and to see.

Very Impressive!!!
