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.

WWPH Writes: Issue # 8
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #8 WWPH Writes is going back to school with Julie Iannone’s cinematic prologue from her novel-in-progress, which made me laugh out loud at the absurdity Colleen Parsons, a new teaching assistant, faces. I am rooting for the delightful IS COLLEEN GONNA LIVE? to get published in […]
