Poetry

Beginning in 2001, LVNG was published by Flood Editions, a small non-profit press founded by Michael O’Leary and Devin Johnston. Available online and in communities across the country, LVNG’s primary purpose is “to provide a location for the ideas and aspirations of a collection of writers.” The journal’s unorthodox and informal distribution method – placing copies of LVNG in buses and trains, grocery stores and doctor’s offices – offered people an opportunity to read contemporary poetry without having to purchase a poetry magazine. Later joined by Peter O’Leary and Joel Felix, LVNG produced eleven issues, the last of which appeared in 2004.*

Zoe3: Divine Trinity is a poetry magazine. Their mission is: "To forge an understanding of the way God has essentially inspired all creativity. Jehovah, the I am, has somehow been divorced from the understanding of all forms of creativity. He is the ultimate Creator. This website’s mission is to reconcile God to the creation that belongs to him. Art as a whole, secular or not, has been separated from the recognition of God as its “genesis,” and we seek to return that connection to the public eye." *
