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…

Continue Submitting to Our Magazines!

In the meantime, don’t forget to continue sending your work for potential inclusion in our magazines. We are open to submissions all year long and also accept pieces from 13-16 year-old artists.

We look forward to reading you. Happy creating!

All our issues are also available for $5.99 $3.99 until October 3, 2020!

Rhythm Flourishing: A Collection of Kindku and Sixku

Ever since announcing the Kindku, our poetry form, we have been blown away by your feedback. Some of you dived right in and sent us beautiful poems. Others are very intrigued but want to see more examples before they give the Kindku a try.

(The same goes for Cendrine’s form — the Sixku.)

Today, we are very excited to announce the upcoming release of our new book, which, we hope, will inspire you to write kindku and sixku poetry on a regular basis!

Rhythm Flourishing: A Collection of Kindku and Sixku is a multimedia project that features positive and uplifting poems inspired by a bunch of major writers (e.g., Elizabeth Bishop, John Keats, Lord Byron, Christina Rossetti, Maya Angelou, Pablo Neruda); as well as some great photography.

Rhythm Flourishing: A Collection of Kindku and Sixku will be released on September 3, 2020. You can pre-order your copy for $6.99 $3.99 until then.

‘The Auroras & Blossoms NaPoWriMo Anthology: 2020 Edition’ Is Available (And More News!)

Hello everyone!

We have two pieces of news to share with you today. We’ll start with the good one.

That’s it, the wait is over! The Auroras & Blossoms NaPoWriMo Anthology: 2020 Edition is out! We want to thank all the poets who helped make this anthology a reality:

Donna Allard, Chandni Asnani, Maria L. Berg, Jamie Brian, Jimena Cerda, Jaewon Chang, Ravichandra Chittampalli, Sandra Christensen, Mimi DiFrancesca, Fiona D’Silva, Kate Duff, Judy Dykstra-Brown, Amanda M. Eifert, Stacie Eirich, Michael Erickson, Deveree Extein, Jack M. Freedman, Alicia Grimshaw, Jenny Hayut, Patrick Jennings, Liam Kennedy, Ting Lam, Rose Loving, Michele Mekel, Ally Nellmapius, William Reynolds, Madhumita Sarangi, Anna Schoenbach, Julie A. Sellers, Jonathan Shipley, Dorian J. Sinnott, Krupali Trivedi, Angela van Son, Michele Vecchitto, Penny Wilkes, and Gemma Wiseman.

As editors, we are blown away by your talent. Your commitment to bringing positivity to the forefront (despite very trying times) is exactly what Auroras & Blossoms stands for!

To purchase a copy of The Auroras & Blossoms NaPoWriMo Anthology: 2020 Edition, click here.

Now onto the bad news. We have made the difficult decision to cancel the PoArtMo 2020 Contest. The reason is simple: After three weeks, the number of entries that did not fit the criteria of the contest had far outweighed the number of qualifying entries, hence creating a lot of extra work for us.

With that said, we are happy to report that our call for submissions to the PoArtMo 2020 Anthology has received more positive attention. As a result, we are extending the deadline for the PoArtMo 2020 Anthology to August 23, 2020! So, please continue submitting to us!

NB: The PoArtMo Anthology is open to all types of artists, not just poets.

Stay inspired, friends!
