MWC is collaborating with Galvin Fine Arts at St. Ambrose University to organize a series of events, activities, and publications around the theme of Adaptation.
In the fall of 2025, we held a submission call for poems, stories, and essays from local writers around this theme. The submissions were read blindly by MWC Press who selected 23 works for inclusion in anthology, which our publishing imprint MWC Press will publish at this event at Galvin Fine Arts Center on April 30, 2024.
This anthology is supported by the MWC Legacy Society, and the Illinois Arts Council.
