Welcome to Blood Lotus!

 

The editors of Blood Lotus are passionate

writers and fierce critics. We know exactly

what we want: to read something we’ve

never read before.  We think there are so

many engaging and enraging things in

modern society to write about, and we

refuse to believe that everything has already

been written.  Have we heard your viewpoint

yet?  Please, take risks. 

Write like words are beautiful, powerful,

and dangerous…then send them to Blood Lotus.

 

 

Praise for Blood Lotus:

Blood Lotus is a shape-shifting chameleon of a flower that pricks you with one of its thorns not only to keep your attention, but so you are aware of what change is possible through creation.”  -NewPages.com  (read the full review here)

Blind Spot, by Lisa Albinger

 

 

 

 

 

Blood Lotus by Rane Arroyo

Words for colors have
colors. Open red and
see the blood lotus.
It's a heart and a flower.

Open blue and read
a big book of waves.
Read it again. Only
the void is older and

black, a fire warming
nothing as the lotus
floats above it, blood as
book ink, a skilled tide.
