logoBeltway Poetry Quarterly is an award-winning online literary journal and resource bank that showcases the literary community in Washington, DC and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic region.

Random Quote

In Washington…the salutation is not “How do you do?” It is “What do you do?” Foreigners are embarrassed by this. They make up funny answers: “I am an anchovy curler at the British Embassy.” “I am the Vice-President’s taster.” “I stick the little worm in bottles of Mexican booze.” Washington is not amused. It cares deeply what you do. That is how it knows whether or not it wants to know you better.
