"Snapdragon: A Journal of Art & Healing is
the inspiration of local poet, Jacinta V. White. White, who has facilitated
“poetry as healing” workshops, through her company The Word Project, in the
Triad for close to 10 years, has seen how art enhances the healing process and
wants to provide a greater platform for art and healing.
Cyndi Briggs (@DrCyndiBriggs), a
resident and active community member of Winston-Salem, known for her writing,
creativity and public speaking, has joined Snapdragon
Journal as a co-editor, focusing on creative nonfiction. White will edit
poetry.
Snapdragon
Journal is an online, quarterly featuring poetry, creative
nonfiction and research. Eventually, White and Briggs think they will include
visual art and photography. There is a
small subscription fee to receive the online and year-end print journal, but
there is no cost to submit your previously published or new work. The editors
of Snapdragon Journal are interested
in publishing emerging and established writers.

“Your piece doesn’t have to talk specifically about
healing. We don’t need to see the word [healing]. What we are hoping to do with
Snapdragon Journal is provide a safe
space for people to share their art and that art be something that has
accompanied them on their healing journey as it will someone else’s.” White
says.
Submissions are being accepted
the month of January for the first issue due in March 2015.
