Cover of the Freedom Collective poetry collection from the UCSP Creative Writing Workshop, Spring 2025. The cover features a monochromatic illustration in black and gold of a prison watchtower and barbed-wire fence rising above a small house and blooming flowers, juxtaposing incarceration with themes of home, resilience, and hope. The title "Freedom Collective" appears in bold at the top beneath the UCSP logo, with the subtitle "Poems from the UCSP Creative Writing Workshop." A small label reading "Spring 2025" appears in the lower right corner.
