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 # 9

Fran Abrams’ tightly-woven, beautifully-rendered poems touch upon children in flight and the pandemic, and […]
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 […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 7
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #7 The dog days of summer are still here—days with “ice-crusted” drinks and lying on the evening grass or green rooftops while summer storms gather. The poem “Caution” and the excerpt “Green Roof” are also both about poignant moments between friends, who, perhaps after a […]
WWPH Writes: Issue # 6
Dedicated to Poetry & Fiction Writers in the DMV Welcome to Issue #6 Our poetry and fiction this issue shimmers with summertime–cicadas and lightening strikes–by award-winning poet Myra Sklarew, a longtime member of the WWPH community, and by a new voice to WWPH, Briana Maley. And remember: submission to WWPH Writes is free, though you will see a […]
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 […]
