Page Turner, an acclaimed artist, recently showed her art at the "Affiliation Show" at the National Arts Club in New York City. Page has worked with Artemis Journal for three years, and her ability to pair art and poetry is phenomenal! In this interview, Jeri Rogers explores how the layout comes into being with her creative skills.
"This year's theme is "transformative nature"
Change is the only constant, as they say, and to begin envisioning a more equitable, weird, and wonderful future for all, our journal encourages work that moves beyond narrow conceptions of both gender and environment. The Greek Lunar Goddess, Artemis, is our journal's perpetual muse. She protects wild animals, the wilderness, women, and children. This year, allow Artemis' light to illuminate new pathways prioritizing the wild over the well-tread.
Artemis Journal has many artists and writers, some first published, and others are well-known in their fields. We are honored to include the work of former US Poet laureate Natasha Trethewey, Virginia Poet Laureates Ron Smith and Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda, and artists Betty Branch, Steven Kenny, Michele Sons, Starroot, Sam Krisch, and Susan Saandholland.
Artemis donates 10% of journal sales earnings to a women's shelter for abused women in Southwest Virginia.
