Poets and Dreamers Literary & Fine Arts Journal

About our Upcoming Issue

Our upcoming issue, the Dreamers and Displaced, will highlight the Dreamers, the perceptions created by borders, and the words of the Displaced. Our goal is to address the issue of divided lands with a poetic sense of unity, of rising above the misconceptions that divide cultures and humanity. Unity and love are possible—and it is through art that we can make this happen. 

We are in the process of gathering works to represent as many cultures as possible, with the theme of traveling to faraway lands, of seeking a place of belonging, and being displaced.Works translated in both English and native language are welcome. Previously published works are fine. 
Poets and Dreamers Fine Arts & Literary Journal, a semi-annual online publication, considers short fiction (up to 3500 words), creative non-fiction (up to 3500 words), up to 5 poems, as well as visual and fine arts (up to 12 photographic images or original works of art). Previously unpublished works are preferred; however, if the work has only appeared in print format (not online), please note this with your submission, and we shall consider it.

Please submit works via the form below, or mail submissions to books@poetsanddreamers.com.
Please typically allow 6-8 weeks for a response.

Thank you for sharing your finest works with Poets and Dreamers.

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers,
the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their
spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it...”
- Wilferd Peterson

San Clemente, CA

So we travel on earth seeking the terrain of Poetry, walking through wilderness and empty landscape or visiting those ancient sites like Dholavira in far-western Gujarat, or Mykenai in the Greek Peloponnese, or the Arawak campsite on eastern Carriacou in the Grenadine Windward Isles, pursuing that authenticity of experience in a form of antique material reality...

These are places, strange and vague situations where death is manifold and thoroughly extant to the careful eye. There are women’s bangles made of shell to be picked up from the saline dust or small copper beads and thin chert blades, or tiny obsidian arrow-heads that can be unhidden and disclosed beneath those bloody grey walls about the Lion Gate, or beautiful indented potsherds and ceramic fragments at the waterline where the Atlantic rolls out its long blue visceral waves...

“Dare to live the life you have dreamed."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

What began as a series of literary salons and writing workshops is now a worldwide circle of literary & fine artists who believe that words, art, and music act as a transcendent bridge, and allow us to create the lives we have imagined. Poets and Dreamers Literary Circle and the Poets and Dreamers Literary & Fine Arts Journal exist as opportunities for authors and artists to actualize themselves through collaboration and the circulation of literary and fine arts.

"Remember...the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you."
~ Rumi
