Mission Statement
“World Around Them” is a literary magazine. It was started and is currently run by students of Anderson University. It publishes poetry and prose for all generations and from all generations known and unknown. Our focus is on the natural embodiment of the earth around us. Our goal is to encourage others to care for the earth and the creatures God has blessed us with. With words, God breathed life into His creation and in response we are able to worship Him with words. By providing the opportunity to writers and poets, our aim is to raise the awareness of interaction between people and the world they live in. We are eager to learn about the experiences of our featured writers who explore their surroundings, through the beauty of words. We hope you will enjoy these works as much as we had putting this magazine together.
"The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope." - Wendell Berry
