1455’s Women Writers: An Anthology Panel

Sun, Oct 25 · 6:00 PM People’s Book

1455’s first Women Writers Anthology brings together original poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and hybrid work from women writers across the globe, each offering a unique perspective on identity, resilience, connection, and the complexities of modern life. As one of the inaugural titles from 1455 books, this collection reflects a commitment to accessibility, authenticity, and the enduring power of literary community. Hannah Grieco is the author of First Kicking, Then Not, out now from Stanchion Books. She writes a literary column for Washington City Paper and teaches literature at Marymount University. Read more of her work in The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, Brevity, Craft, Poet Lore, Shenandoah, Fairy Tale Review, Wigleaf, The Offing, and more. Sean Murphy is the founder of the non-profit 1455 Literary Arts and directs the Center for Story at Shenandoah University. He is the author of four poetry collections—The Blackened Blues (2021), Rhapsodies in Blue (2023), Kinds of Blue (2024), and Red, White, and Blues (2026). The short fiction collection This Kind of Man published in 2024, and his memoir, Please Talk About Me When I’m Gone, won Memoir Magazine’s 2022 Memoir Prize. He has been nominated four times for the Pushcart Prize and twice for Best of the Net. Murphy also hosts the podcast and Substack Some Things Considered, where he interviews best-selling authors, acclaimed critics, and celebrated musicians.
