WWPH Writes: Issue # 15
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #15 I love the beach in winter, which drew me to Sheila Janega’s moving flash fiction, “Winter Beach.” Janega captures the moment when a young girl, amid the wintry beauty of the beach, readies to leave her childhood. Nature is also at the […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 14
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #14 A poem. A story. About going home, finding a home. On the day after Thanksgiving, we think about home and belonging—where do we find them and how? Persky’s poem states that “by necessity we move” to find a safe place and Nicholas’ […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 13
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #13 Admit this to everyone: I love the intensity of Leslie Pietrzyk’s fiction. Pair her story “Admit This To No One” with Serena Agusto-Cox’s equally as timely and exacting poem, “Thanksgiving,” and we have a blockbuster edition of WWPH Writes to share with […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 12
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #12 In this season of ghosts, WWPH Writes issue #12 spotlights poet Sid Gold, whose Hebrew Home for the Aged is a tribute to his bedridden grandmother, like a dried fig, once a fiery Litvak seamstress hiding Anarchist pamphlets in pots. In Last […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 11
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #11 There’s a ferocity to the writing in WWPH Writes issue #11, which features the poet Lucinda Marshall and novelist Aliza Epstein. This line of Marshall’s poem, “Ebb Tide” has its own propulsion: “I wonder/ with a fierceness/what becomes of us,/of who we are/ […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 10
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #10 This issue features two works in fearless second-person, and I’m sure you will agree that, as Gregory Luce writes in his poem, “one carries the other.” The fiction piece, “Donated Evidence of a Relationship, Courtesy of a Recovering Hoarder,” by Delaney Burk […]

WWPH Writes: Issue # 5
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #5 Was it “your whim, or vague/sense of danger/that let you hesitate,” writes Burgi Zenhaeusern in this issue’s poem, “To a Deer in Rock Creek Park.” This elegant, dynamic poem captures a meditative encounter that many of us have known. To contrast, Myna […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 4
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #4 Welcome to summer and to the poet Kateema Lee, who urges us to ‘fly or die,’ in her soaring poetry and and to Ruth Ticktin, who weaves some “bad poetry” into her short story, “Get Up and Sing.” We also honor one of our poets from This […]
