THE INJUSTICED WILL RETURN HOME ONE DAY
ABOUT THIS ISSUE
Our inaugural issue features poetry that reflects the theme, “The Injusticed Will Return Home One Day”. While some of these poems pay homage to our fallen BIPOC brothers and sisters, specifically, some of them also address other forms of injustice. During these times of severe racial injustice and global crisis, it is important that we come together in solidarity to express the idea that poetry can serve as a healing agent in times of crisis.
