We are thrilled to share a sampling of poetry and prose from AMERICA’S FUTURE, the Washington Writers’ Publishing House’s most ambitious, boldest, and most thought-provoking anthology (now on sale in trade paperback/ebook). In this landmark 50th-anniversary anthology, we dared writers to imagine what’s next. Submissions poured in, and 164 writers and 179 works are represented in this 526-page collection just published on September 9th and co-edited by Caroline Bock and Jona Colson. We asked some of the award-winning WWPH writers, who submitted their creative work to AMERICA’S FUTURE, to share their pieces. Read more and order America’s Future.
