St. Belletrist is a journal for the creative and curious, intended to be a meditation upon living the creative process and an anthology of the many ways that art and story communicate truth and shape life.
The Author
St. Belletrist is created by me, Bethany, a graduate student, writer, and collector of avocations.
The Name
A belletrist is an artist of words, a creator of “belles lettres”—a genre of writing that emphasizes aesthetics and doesn’t quite fit into any other genre class. For more on how the saints are important to this journal, see “How to make a saint”.
The Motto
The motto of St. Belletrist is De nobis fabula narratur, which translates as “Their story is our story” or “About us is the story told.”
