The 5th-Anniversary Print Issue Is Here!

I have just received the print edition and I am truly taken aback! It is an absolutely beautiful journal and I am honored to be a part of it.

— From a contributor

Featuring 140 full-color pages of stunning art, poetry, prose, multimedia, interview, and contemplative practices, this commemorative issue represents the best of Vita Poetica! Included here are winners and runners-up of the Vita Poetica Writing & Art Contest, as well as a curated selection of our favorite works from past issues. It makes an attractive coffee-table book and a memorable gift!

The print edition ($24, 8.5 x 11") can be ordered for local DC pickup (including at our 5th-Anniversary Party), or with media mail (U.S.) or international shipping.

The audio edition ($10) features over 5 hours of content and is a unique experience in itself! Read by the contributors (and, where noted, by Vita Poetica editors), the audio issue introduces you to these works in a whole new way. Whether you listen on-the-go, while washing the dishes, or with a cup of coffee in a sun-drenched room, these voices will bring the works alive and light up your spirit in these dark times. A PDF is included with all the visual art featured.

The interactive digital flip-book edition ($10) is perfect for instant access, as well as reading on the subway or picking up in the middle of a story you didn't have the chance to finish in print. Includes media features for contemplative and multimedia works, as well as convenient navigation capabilities.

For a digital-only option, you can get both the audio and flip-book together for $15.

Get all three editions (print, audio, and digital flip-book) as a package for $29, and you'll never be without it!

If you're in the DC area on Saturday, March 22, join us in person to celebrate our 5th birthday and the launch of the print issue! Enjoy snacks and drinks while mingling and conversing with our community of writers, artists, performers, and editors. There will be an opportunity to win art through a raffle and to buy our anniversary print edition of the journal. We will hear a bit about the work of Vita Poetica and this journal edition,  and share much-needed creative inspiration with one another, but mainly -- it's a party!

RSVP not required but helpful for planning purposes.
