| 1 | Poemhood: Our Black Revival | 2024 | Amber McBride | Buy |
Poemhood: Our Black Revival arrived in 2024 as a carefully assembled anthology of Black poetry aimed at young adult readers. The book was put together with the intention of giving young Black readers poetry that reflected their own experiences and histories, and of introducing all readers to the range and energy of contemporary Black American verse.
The anthology gathers work from poets at various stages of their careers, mixing well-known voices with emerging writers. As a co-editor, Amber McBride brought her experience as both a poet and a YA author to the selection process, shaping a book that works as a reading experience as much as a reference collection.
