April is National Poetry Month, and the librarians on campus have done a wonderful display, featuring root and branch and a number of Ivy Tech-Bloomington poets. The library has always been a great supporter of the magazine, and we thank them for this acknowledgement.
We’re also grateful to see a display promoting “Books Some People Don’t Want You to Read” – Carol, Ellie, Matt, and MacKenzie, you are the best!
If you are interested in attending, please email cwall10@ivytech.edu for the Zoom link.
The submissions deadline has been extended until midnight on December 15, 2021.
If you are a current or past Ivy Tech Community College student, staff, or faculty member from any campus, please consider submitting your creative writing or art.

It feels like forever since we were on campus together, and while things aren’t quite back to normal yet, we’re all looking forward to seeing you around the hallways.
Fall semester also kicks off our search for editors and our last push for submissions for our next of root and branch. Here’s some info about submitting your work:
When you’re ready to submit your writing and/or art, go to our Submissions page.
Well, the magazine did anyway – courtesy of Professor Kurt Messick who took a copy of Volume XIV on his recent trip to Iceland. Thank you, Kurt!

The student editors for Volume XIV are Tyann Barrentine and Elliott Samons. Read more about them under Who We Are.
Submissions are now closed, and the editors are beginning their work. We can’t wait to see what the Ivy Tech community has sent in!
Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to the Joan Olcott Library for reminding us of the crucial role the creative arts has played in helping us get through this time of uncertainty.
