Publisher's Synopsis
The annual print anthology of the online quarterly AZURE: A Journal of Literary Thought, a project of Lazuli Literary Group.
Lazuli publishes authors who revel in the rhythmic possibilities of the poetic line, who contemplate the flavor, the shape, and the history of every word they use; who are so committed to the pyrotechnics of the written word that they comprehend the beauty of classical forms and yet feel compelled to constantly re-invent their craft. Lazuli's mission is to support underrepresented styles of writing, specifically within the genre of otherworld realism. The journal offers an eclectic mix of literary, lyrical, experimental, and witty content.
Every piece published in AZURE appears alongside a customized black & white sketch that is devised and executed by the in-house illustrator, Evgenia Barsheva.
