Red Wheelbarrow Writers invites submissions for our fourth anthology, tentatively titled Spring and All! inspired by William Carlos Williams’ poem of the same name. Williams is often considered an uplifting voice amid the harsh realities of the world, and that is our vision for this anthology:

 
“—Still, the profound change
has come upon them: rooted, they
grip down and begin to awaken.”
