The 2025 Anthology is our inaugural issue. Building on the tradition of Erie poetry anthologies, this issue establishes a regular publication of the brilliant work by poets throughout Erie, PA.
Erie Art Museum director Laura Domencic arranged for permission from the Plavcan family to use Public Dock by iconic Erie artist Joseph Plavcan for the cover. The original can be viewed on the second floor of the Erie Art Musuem in an exhibit dedicated to Plavcan.
