As a writer with more than four decades of writing and publishing behind me, I spend a great deal of time working to make sure the diversity in writing I find important will continue. In 2010 River, Blood, And Corn Literary Journal was established and I began collaborating with writers, storytellers and artists, promoting community and strengthening cultures with storytelling, poetry and prose. Our starting point and our goal, is to honor the work and lifeways of Lee Francis III, a contributing founder of Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers, working to ensure the voices of Native writers and storytellers, past, present and future, are heard throughout the world. A variety of writers, backgrounds, communities and viewpoints are presented. Included in our themes are the Elders whose lives informed, instructed, shaped and changed ours.
While our primary focus is Indigenous writers, we have woven writers and artists from a variety of ethnicities and communities into our pages. Perhaps people of many ethnicities, including recent immigrants from throughout the Americas as well as other parts of the world will find something in this collection that will speak to them with respect to issues of race, identity, culture, community, and representation.
Follow along with us.
