Guest editors: Regie Cabico and Gowri Koneswaran
www.beltwaypoetry.com
Just released! The newest issue of Beltway Poetry celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander poets with strong ties to the Mid-Atlantic states of DC, VA, WV, MD, and DE. "Orbit: The Asian American Issue" includes 28 poems by 22 poets and covers a wide range of voices: with new immigrants presented alongside poets whose families have been in the US for many generations. Poets in this issue can trace their ancestry to China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Burma, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
As the guest editors write: "This issue celebrates the passion of slam, theater, experimental and narrative voices. From the contents of a grandmother's purse to a father's shift to a vegan menu in his Japanese restaurant. From a Hindu prayer to immigrant stories and the distance between daughter and father. From the mask of Facebook to the heat of Quezon City and a lover's sheets."
Featured authors include poets new to Beltway Poetry: Anirudh Dhullipalla, Amina H. Shafi, Anu Yadav,Dale Batoon, G. Yamazawa , jenny c. lares, JoAnn Balingit, Jude Paul Dizon, Paige Hernandez, Saida Agostini,Seema Reeza, Subhashini Kaligotla, and Yoonmee Chang. Returning poets include: Chungmi Kim, Deanna Nikaido,Indran Amirthinayagam, Kathleen Hellen , Lalita Noronha, Michelle Chan Brown, Simone Jacobson, Sunil Freeman, and Tarfia Faizullah.
