"Make a way out of no way / make a way out of no way"
-L'Rain, "Find It."

We are excited to share with you the very first issue of Bridgework, CB East's new literary magazine. The infamous "sophomore slump" is usually characterized by a high schooler's lack of motivation and ambition in their tenth-grade year. This sentiment is proved otherwise with this inaugural issue, edited by and comprised of the sophomore Class of 2026. Compiled primarily underground, paths were forged through various groupchats, shared OneNote links, and Notes app screenshots. The pieces themselves vary in length and form, juxtaposing the familiar with the unknown and mythologizing the mundane. Special thanks to the lovely Mrs. Rhodes for allowing us to host our editorial meetings in her room. Happy Gemini Season / Jazz June / Pride Month-- enjoy reading!
