logoBeltway Poetry Quarterly is an award-winning online literary journal and resource bank that originated in Washington, DC and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic region. We are now a global beltway, encircling the epicenters of major metropolises everywhere.

Random Quote

Washington is the drollest place in Christian lands. Such a thin veil of varnish over so very rough material, one can see nowhere else. But for all that there are strong points about it? I know of no other capital in the world which stands on so wide and splendid a river. But the people and the mode of life are enough to take your hair off.

— Henry Adams, 1868
