From the Editors

First published in the fall of 1992, The Living Hand was actually the fourth literary magazine in Ravenscroft history. Prior publications include Of Time and Tides (1973), Wax Paradox (from 1974 to 1981), and Mindstage (beginning in 1981) . The Living Hand is presenting its 31st issue this spring. In lieu of the COVID-19 pandemic, the magazine moved online, making this the third digital publication. The new home of the literary magazine has opened the doors for more original work to be showcased and through many different forums such as music, photography, painting, costume design, and so much more. In spite of our smaller staff this year, we have loved seeing all of the different original student work. Without further ado, we present the 2023 publication of The Living Hand!
