2025 Bacopa Literary Review – Debut

WAG’s program on Sunday, December 14, will feature the 2025 Bacopa Literary Review.

Many of the prize-winning pieces (see below) will be read. WAG members with works published in this journal will also be invited to read.

The Bacopa editorial board expects to have physical copies of the journal available (WAG members get a free copy!), and we will celebrate with refreshments.

Those unable to attend may wish to watch the program on Zoom. If you do that, please mute yourself so that any noise on your end will not disrupt the program. The Zoom link is shown below this article.
