Once Life

Brittaney Mann is a junior studying English and journalism at the University of Arkansas. She loves spending time outside, even at the expense of being around flying insects. Creative and quiet are her go-to adjectives to describe herself, and she has many hobbies because of those main attributes; knitting is her favorite. After graduating, she hopes to attend graduate school but is undecided on which program she wants to apply for. She knows she wants to become a librarian like her mom and hopefully publish her poetry as she gains more skills. She hopes that once she has a career, she can live in a house surrounded by trees and have a ridiculous number of chickens running around her yard

Diamond Line - Fall 2020

Like the editors before us, we had a vision, but ours took a new form — bright, warm colors. Sunset colors. Moons. Playful lines. Isolation and introspection. A stroll through an art gallery. A coming-of-age story bound between two groovy orange bookends. While Issue 2 does not have an overarching theme, we chose the cover art, “Pandemic Prom” by Autumn Blaylock, because it beautifully encompassed the pages within and the vision we were working toward
