Anthology of Poems about DC Published by Plan B Press
July 13, 2010
Several people affiliated with the University of Maryland contributed to new collection.
Plan B Press has announced the publication of the new anthology Full Moon on K Street: Poems About Washington, DC. Featuring over one hundred contemporary poems, the book captures DC’s unique sense of place, from monuments to parks, from lawyers to bus stations, from go-go music to chili half-smokes.
All poems were written between 1950 and the present, by past and current residents of the city. Edited by Kim Roberts, a former adjunct teacher in poetry, American literature, and literature by women at the University of Maryland, and the publisher of the acclaimed online journal Beltway Poetry Quarterly, this anthology captures the city’s many moods: celebratory, angry, and fiercely political.
Contributors include several people currently and formerly associated with University of Maryland, including: Joshua Weiner, José Emilio Pacheco, Christina Daub, Hayes Davis, Minnie Bruce Pratt, and Reed Whittemore.
