Lunarosity, the name of this journal, derives from the desire to provide work that represents a generosity and luminosity of spirit. Also, many writers work all day and must compose at night when the moon, not the sun, inspires. Thus, Lunarosity (Since July 2001). In the logo is a design of three crosses. This does not represent Lunarosity in association with any religious establishment. Rather, this is the symbol of the city in which Lunarosity was founded, Las Cruces, NM.

Lunarosity is interested in poetry that illuminates complex issues
or informs our understanding of important relationships. We value authors who generously expose their emotions and visions and spare us their wordiness. Rhythm moves us, poetic language moves us, formal rhymes likely won't.
Lunarosity offers no pay. We seek permission to publish your work on the web, and to publish selected work as hard copy in
limited editions that may be offered online or off in the future, and all other rights to work remain with the author. Authors should be aware that acceptance of your work here
constitutes a form of publication, and other publishing forums may not desire to present work that has already been published. Writing featured on this site may not be copied or printed elsewhere without the consent of the author.
Please include submissions in your email rather than as attachments. Also, include a statement verifying that all of the material you are submitting for consideration is your original material and that you own the right to submit
it for publication. Without this statement, your work cannot be considered for publication. A brief author's bio should also be included.
We try to respond to you within 6-8 weeks. Please check back if we have not. Editor Wayne Crawford is occasionally limited in speed and stamina. Thanks for understanding. Assisting with 2008 selections of poetry is Joanne Townsend.
No subject is automatically taboo, although submissions will not be considered that marginalize or diminish others because of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender orientation, age, disability, language, class or illness.
We usually plan publications four-eight months in advance and use submissions sooner than that according to these exceptions: if the work fits a particular need or is especially timely, has been invited, is the work of a young adult, or is in response to a call for a special theme. When we have selected all the work to be published in a given issue, we notify authors immediately.
Wayne Crawford's "The Burning Man Blog" features short prose pieces about one location, one event, one point of view with a sense of humor. You can check it out at dancingskin.blogspot.com
Wayne Crawford's MySpace includes poetry videos, The Sun Waltz and Workers Work
and his collaboration with musician Randy Granger, "Dancing at the Totem."
In Lunarosity are Wayne Crawford's video of
"Echo Teaches Her Daughter to Sing" with Louis Ocepek's art, and information about his book, Sugar Trail.
