Washington Writer’s Publishing House LITERARY SALON:

America's Future edition with writers from this big/bold anthology:

AMERICA’S FUTURE: poetry & prose in response to tomorrow features work from 164 diverse voices across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia–and since work was accepted from writers that had ties to the DMV, it also offers poetry and prose from West Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Washington State, and more.  

The anthology opens with prose from Congressman Jamie Raskin and is followed by a collaborative poem from E. Ethelbert Miller and Miho Kinnas. All the works in this stunning collection provide literary insights into what we dare to imagine could be next. 

Gregory Luce, Hannah Grieco, Melanie Hatter, Steve Loiaconi, Kristina Tabor, Naomi Thiers, Joanna Urban, Martheaus Perkins
