Laurels & Bells Literary Journal

We seek to amplify the voices and experiences of underrepresented and marginalized communities, promote radical ideas through creative expression, and inspire collective healing.
We believe in the transformative power of collective vulnerability, in art as a means of resisting violence and oppression, in redefining ourselves outside of dominant paradigms, and building community through intentional connection and care for one another.

""It has been said that the poet is the great therapist. In that sense, the poetic task would involve exorcising, conjuring, and, in addition, repairing. To write a poem is to repair the fundamental wound, the tear. Because we are all injured."
