2025 LETTER FROM THE EDITORS
Dear Reader,
Welcome to the 2025 edition of The Bellwether Review. Thank you
for taking the time of day (or night) to come with us on this jour-
ney. From the 140 submissions we received, the editors selected
59 works by 28 individuals to feature in this year’s publication. We
are proud to present some of the best of what the PCC Rock Creek
community has to offer.
While we wish that all submitted work could have a chance to be
seen in print, only so many can be accepted. Thank you to all who
submitted—without you we would not be here.
In this political climate, many organizations dedicated to the arts
are losing their federal funding. The fact that this journal exists
right now is a privilege. Enjoy the arts, for they are the words and
images of the many.
And with that, let the journey begin.
