This inaugural issue of the Auroras & Blossoms Creative Arts Journal is another landmark for us. Yes, we know, we never seem to stop celebrating. But that’s what Auroras & Blossoms is all about. We love to tap dance after every achievement! 😉

Of course, a cover reveal would not be complete without a release date!

So, here it is. Issue 1 will be out on December 3, 2020. A great way to end the year, isn’t it?

Our PoArtMo Anthology Has a Title!

Hello everyone!

Yes, you read it right. Our new anthology is in the works!

We are very excited to announce the title of our first PoArtMo Anthology —

The Auroras & Blossoms PoArtMo Anthology: 2020 Edition (A Digital Gathering of Inspirational Works)

PoArtMo is not even a year old yet, so we still have to pinch ourselves when looking at the number of people who responded to our call for submissions. There were so many entries that we had to open more slots than originally planned. Of course, we had to make difficult decisions too!

(While we have just started working on the anthology, we cannot wait to see what other years have in store for this beautiful artistic movement.)

Next week, we will share the names of the 40+ artists (poets, photographers, painters, six-word story writers, etc.) who make up the anthology. We know that you will be very impressed by the list of talented artists who sent us their beautiful works!

In the meantime…

Special Supporters Series: Dr. Emory D. Jones

At Auroras & Blossoms, we could not thrive without the support of friends, artists and donors. We are very grateful for you and want to support you back in our own way.

We are starting a new series called “Special Supporters”. Once in a while, we will highlight someone who has made a major contribution to our platform, either financially or via word of mouth.

Today, we would like to introduce you to Dr. Emory D. Jones.

Emory hails from Iuka, Mississipi, United States, and is a retired English teacher. His work has been featured in many publications including Voices International, The White Rock Review, Writer’s Digest, Smokey Blue Literary and Arts Magazine, The Light Ekphrastic, Old Red Kimono, American Poetry, Deep South Magazine, Modern Poetry Quarterly Review, Gravel, and Encore: Journal of the NFSPS. Emory lives with his wife, Glenda. They have two daughters and four grandchildren.

Emory has submitted to us several times and recently made a big donation to help support the publication of issue 5. His work will be featured in a future issue of the magazine. In the meantime, we invite you to read one of his pieces, The Concert, which was published in 2018 on The Society of Classical Poets website.

We thank you, Emory, for believing in us the way you do. We cannot wait to share the poetry you sent us with the world!

Cendrine & David
