This year, members of PEN America have published over 100 works, including works in translation, poetry collections, essays, graphic novels, and more. Over the year, we featured several in our biweekly newsletter; now, we are thrilled to present all of their works here! From national bestsellers to debut authors, the members of PEN America are a gifted group of writers, educators, translators, librarians, and multidisciplinary artists whose works have been lauded in The Washington Post, McSweeney’s, and The New York Times, among others. Help us congratulate our members by checking out their publications!
