Synopsis

The power and whimsy of hot-air balloons. The sexy, sticky heat of a Kentucky summer evening. Pushing through pain and into dreams best lived. Those are a few of the musings explored in Calliope: the 16th Annual Anthology of Women Who Write, 2009. Calliope is produced by Women Who Write, the premier women's writing group in Louisville, Kentucky. This edition features the six winning entries of the Annual Women Who Write Prose and Poetry Contest. The anthology also features selected prose and poetry of Women Who Write members, several of whom have been published in the local and regional pages of Underwired Magazine, The Heartland Review, EX-POW Bulletin, Peeks and Valleys, Willard & Maple, InHealthNW, and The Easterner, The New Albany Tribune, and The Evening News. Contributing members have also had their works performed at Actors Theatre of Louisville, The Kentucky Center for the Arts Mex Theatre, University of Louisville Theatre, and Market House Theatre. Founded in 1992, Women Who Write is a non-profit organization of women writers dedicated to excellence in literary creation by women. This book is in part, a fulfillment of our mission to educate, support and encourage women and girls who aspire to write.
