2. Beltway Poetry Quarterly, co-edited by Kim Roberts, Margaret Corum, and Venus Thrash, is pleased to announce its newest issue, Volume 19:1, the Winter 2018 release. The Resurrection Issue, Part II, is a special issue of the journal honoring foremother poets whose work deserves a wider readership. The issue brings back into print the poetry of eight women, with a generous selection of poems by each author. All are former residents of Washington, DC.
The eight featured poets are:
~ Natalie Clifford Barney, an American expatriate feminist lesbian poet who hosted a famous modernist salon in Paris for over 60 years;
~ Gwendolyn Bennett, who taught in the Art Department at Howard University and was a columnist for Opportunity , the journal of the National Urban League;
~ Anne Lynch Botta, a teacher and advocate for women’s education, and the host of a New York salon popular with the Transcendentalists;
~ Jessie Redmon Fauset, better known as a novelist than a poet, and the literary editor of The Crisis, the journal of the NAACP;
~ Charlotte Forten Grimke, an abolitionist who taught freed slaves in South Carolina at the end of the Civil War, and hosted the Art Club, a DC salon;
~ Leonora Speyer, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1927;
~ Audrey Wurdemann, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1935; and
~ Elinor Wylie, poetry editor for Vanity Fair.
