Ethelbert Miller have collaborated on poems, what Ethelbert calls “twoness poems.” Their poem, What Should We Do with All This History?, begins with this question but ends, “Every dictator believes in resurrection.” Read it to see how these masterful poets arrive […]

WWPH Writes: Issue # 31
It’s amazing what these little poems can do. One makes you feel a moment in Marseille, and another to vacant train tracks in the dark. The conciseness of these poems is powerful–mostly relying on stark images to explore the poetic solitude and often point to meditation. These poems show us that it is not the length of […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 21
Welcome to Issue 21! We have two sense-drenched works to share: the “ephemera” of cherry blossoms in Otito Greg-Obi‘s vivid poem “Cherry Blossoms” and Cameron MacKenzie’s equally alive and spring-infused flash fiction, “Umbrella.” (I had to look it up–this year’s 110th Cherry Blossom Festival is March 20-April 17 in Washington DC). Read about our special […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 20
Welcome to Issue 20! This issue brings together two ideas of home—one remembered with nostalgia, the other “perfect home” undesired and somewhat feared. How do we think of spaces that we occupy, and what is the definition of home. Susan Mockler’s poem “Snowdrift” and Abby Crofton’s “The Perfect Home” offer two different approaches to consider […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 19
Gatherings are happening again in our writing, after so long an isolation–a moment captured at Miriam’s Kitchen in DC in Bonnie Naradzy’s poem “Life Is Like The Flight of Bede’s Sparrow,” and with a couple, who connects and disconnects over a Happy Meal, in Len Kruger’s “Collectors.” Plus, see below for a special call for […]

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 # 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.
