The Butterfly Effect: A Liberal Arts Anthology

Blank Voices is a platform where you can get stories to share beyond any biases, stories of unsung heroes, stories without a voice, and stories that inspire and transform. In the information age, if stories lose meaning in generalization, statistics, summaries, and the status quo, Blank Voices offers a safe place where speakers feel heard and understood. We welcome the participation of diverse people with diverse and dynamic perspectives through diverse media, be it poetry, paintings, sketches, installation art, live art, audio-visual, photography, and whatnot! The Butterfly Effect is planned to be an annual anthology of liberal arts, initiated in September 2022 as its baby step. The title refers to the tiniest significance of a motion that can turn out to be the mightiest force to create a cosmic revolution like the Big Bang! To share the voices from multiple disciplines of liberal arts, the book and the website (blankvoices.com) are designed with certain aesthetics. Therefore, this anthology is divided into four chapters: Verses, Voices, Visions, and Visuals. The first chapter, 'Verses, ' is the art of poetry where poets take the floor to provide readers with a vibrant and vivid poesie ride! The second chapter, 'Voices, ' includes any sort of proses like short stories, interviews, letters, reflections, memoirs, anecdotes, travelogues, and so on. The third section, 'Visions, ' covers experimental media of artwork, painting, installation, crafting, and so on. The final chapter, 'Visuals, ' exhibits the audiovisual documented stories (in the website) and photo-stories (in this book) of life and love, of toils and joy!
