Graphic Lit Editor’s note

by Drai Whitted

In this issue of Solstice Graphic Lit we bring you a visual story by poet, writer, and visual artist Nance Van Winckel. Enter Iggy’s world through letters home to mom & dad from Jr. History Camp. Investigate what’s happening with Counselor Kyle and learn that “nothing here is awesome.” Nance’s artwork, a mix of erasure and collage, helps form a unique world through the child’s lens of scrapbook style letters sent home. The story has engaging art, humor (at times, with sinister undertones), and as a bonus, by the end you will have also learned some interesting facts about key U.S. presidents. After all this is Jr. History Camp. We hope you enjoy this unique piece.
