Iliad Literary Magazine

From Clutter to Simplicity is an idea that describes all of us in our fall, back-to-school chaos. Sometimes we are spread out everywhere, like a pile of leaves or a mess of scattered thoughts. At other times, we force ourselves to be simple and straightforward, appreciating the little things like a barren tree branch or a box of cereal. With each new school year, this is the time we reflect and appreciate the season of fall, and all of the messes and simple moments on our journey, our Iliad.
