The Bridge is an award-winning annual literary and arts journal published by currently enrolled students with support from the English and Art departments at Bridgewater State University. Publishing fiction, nonfiction, poetry, visual art, and now DRAMA from university undergraduate and graduate students, as well as alumni, The Bridge amplifies the voices of emerging artists.
Our staff is comprised of undergraduate students dedicated to making space for diverse stories and art forms, celebrating student writing and art, and helping creators gain wider audiences in the pages of The Bridge and on our website.
