About MUSE

The Muse Magazine is a student-led publication that endeavours to give students an outlet to express their innermost thoughts and emotions through numerous creative dimensions, with works ranging from poetry, short stories, personal essays, critics, and literary quizzes. In particular, we encourage fledgling writers by showing how writing is not necessarily something academic, kept within the confines of a classroom, but rather, a process of self-exploration and growth.

We strive to promote the student voice to the CIS community, in hopes that Muse Magazine will be an oasis in which students can safely find their voice and the power that comes from using it. Not only do we strive to capture the beauty of the written word, but one of our main goals is to cultivate a tight-knit community of writers where inspiration continues to sprout –which indeed, is the definition of Muse!

那我們是怎麼樣創立這個雜誌的呢？

其實，我們也不知道。我們沒有恍然大悟的一刻，也沒有因為聽到腦海裡激勵的聲音所以製作這個雜誌。但我們知道的是，我們從開始的那一天就想給學生機會發表自己對寫作與創作的愛。

在杭州一年中，我們出版了三期雜誌。每一期都有新的主題，來促進學生與老師們的自我表達。我們三個主題是身分，勇氣與感恩。回到香港的校園，我們為了讓雜誌擴大受眾和變得環保一些，我們就成立了這個電子網站。

As a whole, we hope that our readers will be inspired, challenged and comforted by the plethora of voices captured within each issue.

Muse magazine was not meant to be read, but to be experienced. So sit back, and enjoy the exhilarating journey that is about to come.
