Writing poems about
writing poems about
writing poems.
The air was hot but the shade was cool
and I walk over the roots on the moss
step step step
The old men sometimes walk
as if it’s their last walk
and the air, the air was hot but the shade was cool
beside the green river
making noise with the trees
The bicycles ride by
and the headphone people in sunglasses
look the other way as if to say
nothing at all
nothing at all.
The don’t talk to strangers people
go by
without
saying hello
to the trees and the old men walking.
American Writers Review (AWR), a publication of San Fedele Press, is pleased to announce its 2025 issue, with the theme “Buyers’ Remorse.”
For our new issue, we are seeking written work and imagery that springs from the moment when the best-laid schemes have turned to dust. It seemed like such a good idea…. But now? The crash can be obvious, subtle, even not yet realized. The piece’s point of view could be disappointed or triumphant or oblivious. The moment of remorse could be immediate, in the future, or long in the past. Please read the submission guidelines carefully before submitting.
Further submission information is available on our website. This issue will be available in late 2025 on Amazon and other sites.
Prior issues of our multi-genre anthology include work by established poets, including Rilke Award winning Robin Metz, as well as emerging poets. Prose authors include Gary Fincke, Colin Pink, Patricia A. Florio, and many others. In addition, images by artists and photographers grace our pages.
All issues of AWR are available from Amazon and from our website: www.americanwritersreview.com. In addition, the editorial staff would be happy to discuss readings, volume discounts and any questions you may have. Our email is info@sanfedelepress.com.
