3. With a reading in Arlington, VA earlier this month, Beltway Poetry Quarterly closed its year-long tenth anniversary celebration. The journal, started in January 2000, publishes poets from the greater Washington, DC region online. www.beltwaypoetry.com.
For our tenth year, we published a celebration of guest editors, with new poems and commentary from the 15 authors who generously served as guest editors and advisors to the journal in our first ten years. We also hosted fifteen readings throughout the year, in venues that included the Folger Shakespeare Library, The Writer's Center, at the Split This Rock Poetry Festival, the Capital BookFest, the Baltimore Book Festival, the Historical Society of Washington, the Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore, and the Library of Congress.
And we published two books: the anthology, Full Moon on K Street: Poems About Washington, DC (with 101 poems, written by current and former residents of the city between 1950 and the present), and the nonfiction chapbook, Lip Smack: A History of Spoken Word Poetry in DC (a timeline of major performers, publications, and venues between 1991 and 2010).
Media coverage included features in The Washington Post, The Hill Rag, The Current Newspapers, The Baltimore City Paper, Scene4 Magazine, Gently Read Literature, New Pages, Montserrat Review, The Washington Examiner, and the Poetry Foundation blog, "Harriet." Financial support for tenth anniversary events came from the DC Commission on the Arts and Poets & Writers.
Overall--it was an incredible year! I am grateful to all the people who helped make it such a huge success. For more information, see:
