*Running Time => 8hrs.*

This kaleidoscopic portrait of an unprecedented time brings together some of our most treasured writers today - Edwidge Danticat, Layli Long Soldier, Monica Youn, Julia Alvarez, Reginald Dwayne Betts, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor - to give voice to the unthinkable grief and hopeful possibilities born in an era of revolution and change.

We are living through an unprecedented, revolutionary era. Across the country, people are losing their loved ones, their livelihoods, their homes, and even their own lives to COVID-19. Despite the pandemic, countless protests erupted this summer over the recurring loss of Black lives. Shock and outrage reverberated. 'THERE'S A REVOLUTION OUTSIDE, MY LOVE' captures and gives voice to all of these roiling sentiments that were unleashed in a profoundly affecting time.

Beginning with a heart-rending poem by masterful poet Patricia Smith that grieves the murder of George Floyd, among others - the pieces in this anthology fan out from there, offering a kaleidoscopic and intimate view of the change we all underwent. Composed of searing letters, essays, poems, reflections, and screeds, 'THERE'S A REVOLUTION OUTSIDE. MY LOVE' highlights the work of some of our most powerful and treasured writers. They hail from across a range of backgrounds and from almost all fifty states. Between them, have brought home four Pulitzers, two National Book Awards, a fistful of Whitings, and numerous citations in best American poetry, short story, and essay compilations. They are noisy with beauty, and their pieces ring out.

Galvanizing and lyrical, this is a deeply profound anthology of writing filled with pain and beauty, warmth and intimacy. A remarkable feat of empathy, 'THERE'S A REVOLUTION OUTSIDE, MY LOVE' offers solace in a time of swirling protest, change, and violence - reminding us of the human scale of the upheaval, and providing hope for a kinder future.
