WE EVEN PUBLISH
In 2003 The Sitting Room began producing a small publication every Spring based on a particular theme. The Publication Party coincides with the Sitting Room Birthday Celebration, usually the first Sunday afternoon in June.
The Sitting Room 2019 Anthology -
READERS WITHOUT BORDERS
The idea came from Bridey Heing, a freelance critic who lives in Washington, D.C. (in a recent BOOK MARKS blog)
“We are at such an interesting and exciting time when it comes to reviving forgotten women’s voices, so I hope that curiosity extends to works in translation.”
We hope so too and look forward to reading your appreciations of a book or some poems you have read by a woman writer from another country and culture. Take one or two pages to tell us about your reading experience. Explore the impact (or any special insights into the culture) from your book having been written by a woman.
Let’s grow from being too provincial in our reading habits –a political act in a way. What an interesting list this 2019 Sitting Room book will provide for all who want to live and read beyond borders. The Sitting Room Collections—and even our circulating shelves – have a surprising number of international writers if you need some ideas.
All contributions will be accepted, if they address the theme and follow the format and arrive by April 1, 2019. You do not have to be a “member” of the Sitting Room to contribute or of any one gender or age.
