Many Lights in Many Windows

Twenty Years of Fiction & Poetry from The Writers Community

by Laurel Blossom, editor

 

Founded in 1977, The Writers Community, a program of the YMCA National Writer's Voice since 1986, is the embodied idea of a community of writers among themselves, and of writers in creative community with audience, readers, and humanity in general. Now known as the oldest and best community-based writing program in the nation, The Writers Community is celebrated in this anthology of fiction and poetry representing some of the best work of its workshop members and writers-in-residence over its twenty-year history. Many of the writers represented here, unknown or little known at the time of their association with The Writers Community, have gone on to become MacArthur Fellows, winners of the Pulitzer Prize, and distinguished literary figures.


Contributors: This celebration of outstanding writing features works by forty-two writers, including Michael Cunningham, Cornelius Eady, Carolyn Forch, Jorie Graham, Allan Gurganus, Jessica Hagedorn, Ntozake Shange, and Charles Simic, among others.

Quotes:

“Quality inspires the Writers Community and . . . is the thread in the new anthology, Many Lights in Many Windows.”—The Billings Gazette

“[Many Lights in Many Windows] will appeal to anyone following contemporary and community-based writing programs.”—The Bookwatch

"Writing is inevitably solitary, of course, but the idea of a community of writers is invigorating to think about when you're all alone with your thoughts and it's three in the morning and you just can't find a way to end the paragraph. Sometimes, when I'm up very late working, I'll look out my window and see other lights in other windows, and I'll imagine that there are writers in those rooms, doing essentially what I'm doing. In a strange way, this is always a comfort.”—Meg Wolitzer, from the foreword
