2021 The Polk Street Review

2021 edition of The Polk Street Review Book Launch

27 February 2021: Due to COVID-19, our book launch for the 2021 edition of TPSR was a virtual presentations event via Zoom with a Facebook Live component. Ribbon awards were given in three categories: Prose; Poetry/Song Lyrics, and Images, and then we enjoyed selected presentations from some of the contributors to this year’s book.

The 2021 book launch can be viewed here: 2021 The Polk Street Review book launch.

We have over 100 pieces of original prose, poetry, song lyrics, and art images published in the 2021 edition of The Polk Street Review!

The 2021 edition’s theme prompt is Family Traditions, Old & New. When we chose the 2021 theme prompt in early January 2020, we couldn’t have known how applicable it would become due to COVID-19. We received so many amazing pieces connected to the theme; you’ll relate to and enjoy reading this anthology for years to come.

Here’s a little THANK YOU to our 2021 supporters:
