The other founding mothers of Renegade Oracle Press are artist-songwriter-poet Ondé Chymes and author-poet-professor Ann Filemyr, Ph.D.
Ann, Ondé, and Luisa and Renegade Oracle Press are dedicated to sharing poetry, prose, music, and other creative arts that offer authentic, diverse voices.
"We value writers and artists who weave catalytic change into obsolete power structures, both personal and collective. We envision a post-dominator society that prospers through resilient truth-telling, empathy, accountability, compassion, depth of engagement, and the creation of new oracular processes.In Western European history, female oracles were often exploited for their power and their vision. We are dreaming in a new oracular tradition, one that is integrated, inclusive, and relational with all beings."
NOTE: The publishing schedule of ROP is currently full. No submissions are being accepted at this time.
