Copia Literary Journal
copia – “abundance”
The Copia Literary Journal is a student-run journal showcasing the creative talents of the NCA Upper School. Founded in 2019, the journal began collecting student submissions to celebrate each student’s God-given capacity for creativity. Poetry, drawings, essays and more are compiled to create print copies of the journal for the NCA community to cherish and enjoy.
A letter from The Editors, from the first published copy (2020), states the vision of Copia best.
The idea of creativity has always held hands with introspection and growth. As we publish the first copy of the Copia Literary Magazine, our hope for NCA is that we would set sail on the journey of expressing and creating with our God-given skills and that we would marvel at how far we have sailed. Through the art, poems, essays, and other outlets of imagination found here, we strive towards looking at our past with thankfulness so we may boldly venture into the future God has for us. Please view this magazine as an expression of God’s goodness, His faithfulness over the past 20 years of NCA’s history, and the gifts He has given each one of us to create.
