First brush with afrofuturism—made me want to dig in deep to the genre
I received a copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway. (Thank you, Blair Publishing, and all the artists involved!)Like the editors and artists in this book, I also grew up on comic books and superheroes. I knew how I experienced these stories, not realizing that a POC could have a completely different relationship with them. I was shocked at my ignorance. The poems within it are amazing: powerful, poignant, and heart breaking. The artwork is rich and moving. This is a book to be read more...
The wide span of subjects and styles comes together to create a powerful, evocative work whose words and images linger; this is a timely, crucial contribution that ripples with energy.
I love the comics and poems in this book. The comics are creative and interesting. The poems are powerful. I enjoyed the variety of writers. It allows you to see from the prospective of each poet.
