New Lit on the Block :: Blue Lotus Review
Blue Lotus Review is a literature, art, and multi-media online journal. Editor Amy Willoughby-Burle says she’s “been rolling this idea around in my mind for some time. What makes a person with too much on her plate already desire to start a journal? My best answer: to see what’s out there. To be a part of it.” Blue Lotus Review is a nice addition to this fray of what’s out there, taking advantage of the online medium to provide high quality visual artwork as well as easily accessed, quality recordings from musicians. While there’s no film as yet, BLR submission guidelines include this.
