Azure: A Journal of Literary Thought (Vol. 2)

AZURE publishes work that is linguistically, intellectually, and emotionally demanding of the reader. We appreciate literary fiction that grows in complexity upon each visitation; we enjoy ornate, cerebral, and voluptuous prose executed with thematic intent. Writers we admire are Zadie Smith, Virginia Woolf, Tom Wolfe, Jorge Luis Borges, Charles Dickens, Toni Morrison, Thomas Mann, Robert Musil, Tom Stoppard, John Keene, and James Baldwin.

About the Author
Fakhri, Sakina B.: - Lazuli Literary Group is a platform for the cultivation and advocacy of the imaginative faculty through a small publishing press, contests, and an online/print literary journal. At a time when "facts" are so readily available through technological means, it is no longer necessary to invent a solution when you can "search" for one. In this context, the ability to imagine as a form of agency becomes paramount. We believe the value of creative writing and narrative fiction as tools to engage with social opinions, histories, and moral codes is vital to personal, political and social evolution. On the level of craft, we advocate creative writing's ability to reveal interiority and its ability to transform, heal and act as a catalyst for the full self-actualization of individuals and society. We are particularly drawn to writing that broadens the concept of "literary" to one that is about the dexterity of language and the ability to pull from a global pedigree of literary and storytelling technique. Aesthetically, we love work that is explicitly demanding of the reader linguistically, intellectually and emotionally.
