Northview High School’s Literary Arts Magazine

THE MUSE

2023-2024

THE MUSE is an award-winning hybrid publication that compiles student art and writing into an annual magazine. Founded in 2002, this class was established on the principles of escaping the structure of school and creating an environment where we can explore the arts and find our voices. We focus on composing creative writing and showcasing the work of Northview’s talented artists, writers, designers, and many more in celebration of their creativity.

APPETITE Release 2023-2024

PHILOSOPHY: We are the dreamers. Our dreams are the fleeting whimsies of what we can become: a version of ourselves chasing knowledge & progress & life. Yes, this generation dreams. We’ve all felt it— the slow discontent gnawing, hungering, growing within us: a voracious desire to learn & grow. We are the insatiable generation; we desire it all. Through our literary magazine, we invite you to experience those wants with us as a three-course meal. Starting with the appetizer, an initial curiosity emerges featuring light colors like the moment of discovery & sparks of desires. When our hunger deepens, the entree is served. It is dark, mired in all that we may become. But as dessert finally arrives, we start to question. Are we truly fulfilled? Can we grasp the version of ourselves that we dream of? Regardless of the answer, we hope that you find your own hunger. We hope that your own appetite grows, insatiable, red, and waiting
