Buckle up, poetry lovers, because this podcast episode takes flight with The Winged Moon, a literary arts magazine that's more than just words on a page. Join host Ken on a whirlwind chat with Jai-Michelle Louissen, the magazine's mastermind.
Louissen spills the tea on how The Winged Moon came to be, a story that winds through fashion publishing, family constellations (intriguing, right?), and a deep dive into the world of poetry. Get ready for a metaphor explosion as Louissen explains the magazine's name, a hint at her fascination with folklore, myths, and nature's vibrant tapestry.
The conversation then delves into the secret lair (okay, maybe it's her home office) where Louissen weaves magic with words and art. We learn how she selects poems that sing and artwork that dances with the magazine's themes. Oh, and there's a surprise about the magazine's online nest – Substack!
So, if you're ready for a dose of literary adventure, hit play and let Ken and Louissen guide you through the whimsical world of The Winged Moon.
