Bodies Luminous

Off the Page: Poetry Reimagined is producing Issue 2: Bodies Luminous—a literary arts magazine that also becomes a gallery exhibition. This issue is inspired by Diamond Forde’s poem “fat girl Dances with a Stranger at a Block Party.”

We invite women and non-binary artists to submit artwork inspired by the poem and its themes.

We understand that our relationship to our bodies can be complicated, dysmorphic, beautiful, and evolving. We’re especially interested in pieces which celebrate the body. In Issue 2, we embrace expressions of joy and hope to foster a space where all bodies can be luminous. 

The jurors are look forward to seeing how you interpret Diamond Forde’s Poem “fat girl Dances with a Stranger at a Block Party.”
