The Black & LatinX Poetry Project is a poetic

anthology with 20 emerging poets from diverse

backgrounds. To this day, the publishing industry

continues to underrepresent diverse writers and,

as a result, deny readers the power and beauty of

necessary voices. It is our hope that through an

inclusive collection like this, we can amplify

relevant cultural narratives and shine a light on

the rich humanity contained within our stories.

There are those that would have us believe the

Black & LatinX poets are extinct or on their way to

becoming irrelevant. Nothing is further from the

truth. We are very much alive and we are everywhere.
