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 journey. 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.
