The anthology came out of a June 2020 call for poems and short prose on the theme, "Black Lives Matter".
We received close to 500 poems from over 300 writers around the world. The anthology presents107 of these poems from 95 writers. The poems were selected for how they respond to the theme and for how they speak to others in the anthology.
I commend the poems to you and hope they will also encourage you to keep insisting that Black Lives Matter in your village, town, region and country and in the places you get livelihood and goods and services from.
