We are still aiming to publish the first issue of our Art Lit Magazine in May-June 2021, and we encourage you to contact us with your ideas, projects, questions, and submissions. Many items that were included on the internal blog will also be published in the Magazine which will be public.
First Issue:
I. Women and Nature: Shifting Relationships
II. Free Expression (i.e. your choice of subject)
III. Corona Tales
IV. Reviews
Poetry, Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction, Essays, Reviews, Art, Photography, Illustration, Children’s Literature
This period of upheaval with wars, pandemic, mass extinctions, crazy weather, #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and turmoil everywhere, women are key to how humanity reacts. Thus in AAWE’s first Art Lit Magazine, instead of looking at the world in terms of the traditional categories, Man against Man, Man against Nature, or Man against Self, we will look at Woman with Nature, Woman with Self, and Woman with Other.
Nature has many dimensions: Mother Nature, one’s nature – therefore oneself, – the natural world, the nature of things…Shifting relationships: with the natural world, with oneself, with another or others. The terms “Nature” and “Relationships” imply perception, real and imagined. This is the ideal forum for expressing your perceptions on your chosen subject by your chosen means.
Although the first submission deadline will be December 1st, you are welcome to start submitting now! So start thinking, writing, versifying, painting, drawing, or photographing now! Summer is a great time to relax and be creative.
