Featured Image: “Dislodged” by Yuan Li.  Painting description from Falunart.org: Countless many of China’s Falun Gong, such as the young woman depicted here, have been rendered homeless and destitute as a result of relentless persecution by China’s communist authorities. Held closely is the central book of Falun Gong’s teachings, Zhuan Falun, suggesting both its place in the heart and the holding fast to principle; for refusing to recant their beliefs, many in China face torture. Since 1999, millions of Falun Gong adherents have thus been put at risk. The angelic presence here suggests a sense of higher support and meaning in the woman’s life.

    You should give credit to the cover artist. It’s not “Art and Literature” by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905).

    Get your website shit together. I got an email after trying to register that was nothing but a link to a page that demanded an activation code. No activation code was provided in your email. What are you people playing at?

    Must the poems for the 2015 Poetry Competition be unpublished?

      It is okay if they are published elsewhere.
