More Description

The Citadel has been published at Los Angeles City College since the 1960s and provides a space for students and the community to share their voices. Our college community is made up of a rich, diverse fabric, a strength reflected in the stories, poetry, and art offered to you within the pages of this journal. The Citadel provides an outlet and a space for our students and community to share in the human experience, an outlet we hope you will find worthwhile and support. The collection of voices within LACC's The Citadel 2022 reflects faculty, established writers, students, and diverse students including English language learners. Though our contributors come from different walks of life, their stories, poetry and artwork speak to the human condition - life's struggles and triumphs - that we all share. In our 2022 issue, we invite you to explore a most humorous product review, to celebrate a community's solidarity through a pandemic lockdown in Shanghai, to witness a father's testimony about unspeakable grief, and to explore our stories of ongoing struggle and continued survival now that we know breathing anew always comes with risks.
