The First Thing, consisting of visual and literary art, explores the depths of the human experience. We publish art that bores into us and gnaws our hearts. Through quality craft, we raise our souls in wonder towards our Creator. The First Thing delves into the mystery of man and God through beauty, story, and reflection. This category is exclusively comprised of work by young adults. We showcase poetry, short stories, creative non-fiction, and various visual arts in this section.

“Let me, then, confess what I know about myself, and confess too what I do not know, because what I know of myself I know only because you shed light on me, and what I do not know I shall remain ignorant about until my darkness becomes like bright noon before your face.”
Augustine, Confessions |
