Entering the Real World

"Entering the Real World: VCCA Poets on Mt. San Angelo", edited by Margaret B. Ingraham and Andrea Carter Brown, is a labor of love by poets who have been to VCCA and by the Fellows' Council to celebrate VCCA's 40th Anniversary.

It contains over sixty previously published poems by VCCA Fellows, all written about or inspired by their residencies at VCCA.

The poets are from throughout the United States, around the world-and across the decades.

Kelly Cherry, Poet Laureate of Virginia, describes "Entering the Real World" as, "this splendid, intriguing anthology." Editor Margaret B. Ingraham writes, "This anthology is at once a work of literary merit, a celebratory offering, and an historical record of a hallowed place."
