We hope that as you read each story and poem, you will find the same sense of empowerment and celebration that we know has sustained us over countless generations, and in their beauty and humor and intelligence and complexity, continue to enrich us still.
We felt lifted, held aloft in these arrangements of language.
Ibura, we felt humbled by the love threaded throughout the voices speaking to us in stories and poems that vault beyond expectation and settle in our consciousness as an expansion of what\'s possible when we tend to one another with intention.
In collecting this work, note editors Khadijah Queen and K.
This work does not presume; it presents and blossoms, creating a constellation of appearances, a symphony of belonging.
Any dangers herein, imagined or observed in poem and story, transport us: moving from latent to extant, then unleashed.
The writers in this Anthology mirror, instruct, bind and unbind, myth-make and myth-invert, transform and transmute, make us belly-laugh or hum our understanding, gasp or whisper gently, and remember that sometimes we need to holler and fight as we grieve.
These are visions both familiar and strange, but always rooted in the mystery of human relationships, the deep honoring of memory, and the rootedness to place and the centering of culture.
