Blues Big Revenge, Fidel E. Perez Pujols
Blues Big Revenge, Fidel E. Perez Pujols
Digressions: Literary & Art Journal
"In my art, I like to capture moments where I feel an overwhelming amount of a particular emotion. Different shapes and colors allow me to express different ideas."
Love Me, Elisha Mendoza
Love Me, Elisha Mendoza
Digressions: Literary & Art Journal
"Like my other poems, this piece was written on the spot. As for the inspiration and meaning behind my piece, I think a lot and feel strongly about love. I've never experienced romance or been in a relationship, so I tend to be in my head quite a bit and feel lonely from time to time. It makes me wonder whether or not I have a soulmate, and if that soulmate is myself. Self-love comes before loving another person, as they say."
I Think I'Ve Processed It But, Amber M. Hockaday
I Think I'Ve Processed It But, Amber M. Hockaday
Digressions: Literary & Art Journal
"I was sexually assaulted March 27th, 2021, around 3 am. I pretended like it was something I wanted, that maybe I wasn’t vocal enough in expressing that I didn’t want it, and maybe I acted like I enjoyed it, and that sent a mixed message. I didn’t want to tell anyone because I was afraid that I would be blamed. I had been in fight-or-flight mode for months without realizing it. I remember all the details of that night, but it no longer consumes me with overwhelming fear, it gets better, and this poem is proof of that."
A Doctors Visit, Italia P. Lewis
A Doctors Visit, Italia P. Lewis
Digressions: Literary & Art Journal
"My poem follows the story of a woman's doctor's visit. It is meant to convey what women face in going to the doctor, highlighting how women's health is often ignored or pushed off as a nonissue. The inspiration for this poem came from a women's health class I took last semester, in which we read different passages about the disparities women face while trying to get medical help. From being gaslighted, ignored, and shamed for being unhealthy, my poem is meant to highlight each and every one of those issues."

El Universo / The Universe, Cora J. Padilla Castillo
Digressions: Literary & Art Journal
"In the universe you find things you want to see but at the same time you don’t. When in love you are vulnerable to the feelings that person can transmit to you. This poem is about a love wanting to be noticed for who they are. This individual wants the lover or person of interest to walk into their eyes and see their heart as well to feel their colors. In a way this individual struggles to be seen and prompts the question if they have seen them yet. Within the poem I wanted to also depict the value that …

"This screen print represents how when growing up I felt like I was growing a lot of the times, wading water trying to stay afloat. It is an experiment in enhancing a screen print with water color paints."
Leaving You, Julia Severance
Leaving You, Julia Severance
Digressions: Literary & Art Journal
"The short poem, 'Leaving you,' was inspired by a long-term, high school sweetheart break up. For most of the relationship, I complied to the wants and needs of my partner. However, I was growing farther and farther from who I really was and what I truly desire in life. Not only was my love taken advantage for, but I also completely lost myself trying to love a man who cannot even love himself. 'Leaving you' is not about losing my ex, but rather gaining back all the love I gave up when I left the relationship."
