On April 7th, 2022, the third print issue of Hindsight was launched. The launch event featured readings of several pieces from the journal read by the writers who wrote them. We also had special guest Erika Krouse reading an excerpt from her book, Tell Me Everything: The Story of a Private Investigation. In case you missed our live launch event at the Boulder Book Store, watch this full-length video of the event and hear from those who are passionate about writing. About Hindsight: Each edition of Hindsight Journal extends the legacy of a journal begun over eight years ago. The University of Colorado’s Program for Writing and Rhetoric already offered Introduction to Creative Nonfiction (WRTG 2020) for its Writing Certificate. Jay Ellis taught it before and had seen plenty of good undergraduate writing, but never the likes of what one class created in the Fall of 2012. After grades were in, Ellis and a few students created Journal Twenty Twenty, playing off the serendipity of that course number. The first issue, still on our website, featured memoirs but also strong narrative journalism, dark humor in portraiture, and three of the funnier pieces of a now nine-issue run. Within three months, the journal launched a full-color print issue in Spring 2013. At this point, Journal Twenty Twenty was the sole journal in the country publishing only creative nonfiction, only by undergraduates, with all editorial and production work done by undergraduates. Since then, we’ve published over 150 pieces of creative nonfiction across the many subgenres of that “fourth genre,” and taught more than 125 students the creative business of publishing in print and online. Well before the year 2020 darkened, we’d planned our new name, and now, in another inventive Spring, amidst hopeful vaccinations but clouded by the stubborn human resistance to reason, we debuted our new title still looking back—as all writing must—but also ahead. This season we continue the creative tradition of Hindsight Journal.
