Beltway Poetry Quarterly 27

About

Beltway Poetry Quarterly is an award-winning online literary journal and resource bank that now showcases poetry from all over the world. It also features translations and reviews. During the first 20 years of its existence, it featured poetry from the literary community in Washington, DC and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic region. Under new leadership, the journal will always look fondly on the poetry of Washington DC and the surrounding region. But its focus is now unabashedly global.
