Vita Poetica Journal

About

The Vita Poetica Journal is an online quarterly publication of creative work explored through a spiritual lens. This may be engaging directly with religious faith or a broader inquiry into meaning and the human experience. We appreciate a sensibility that is open and thoughtful rather than didactic. We are looking for diversity in experiences, backgrounds, and spiritual perspectives, as well as in genres and art disciplines. We’re also open to cross-genre, cross-discipline, or multimedia experimentation.

Our journal is an extension of the Vita Poetica community at large, and anyone curious about the intersection of art and faith is welcome to submit. (Please see our submission guidelines here.) While our events and creative programming are based around a quarterly theme to facilitate shared conversation, the journal accepts work year-round and is not theme-specific. Our events often focus on generating work, exploring the creative process, cultivating practice, and honing our craft. In conjunction with that, this publication serves as a platform for curated work that has been revised and polished. Those interested in submitting are encouraged to explore our past issues to gain a sense of our ethos and aesthetic.
