15 years of Voices de la Luna!

Our History

“Poetry heals and arts advance the quality of life...”

~Dr. James Brandenburg

About

Voices de la Luna is a nonprofit quarterly literature and arts magazine. Co-Founded in 2008 by San Antonio writers Dr. Mo Saidi and Dr. Jim Brandenburg, the magazine is the premier literary magazine in South Texas. All of us who are involved with the production of the magazine and with the many community services offered by Voices staff, board members, and contributors believe that poetry heals and arts advance the quality of life.

Mission Statement

Voices de la Luna inspires and promotes literature and arts and serves as a platform for all authors and artists to share their work with others. It further uses literature and arts for both educational and healing purposes in the community.

Community Work

In addition to publishing a magazine, the Voices de la Luna organization works in the community in a variety of different ways. Some of these include:

Poetry Medicine sessions at several locations, including Haven for Hope and other monthly literary venues with workshops and guest readers. Our Annual Youth Poetry Contest, co-sponsored with H-E-B with participation in and support of area-wide poetry and arts venues. It is our honor to work in collaboration with other local literary and arts organizations of San Antonio, Texas.
