Young, Gifted, & Black: A Poetic Anthology Vol.2

Featuring the poetic works from 15 poets from the Las Vegas valley and out of state. This second volume anthology starts as a blank canvas that then transforms into a colorful portrait of the current culture narrated by young black Americans. Within these pages there are messages that will be a mirror looking back at you and others that will open your perspective to what the black experience can be like. I hope these poems feel like a glance at grandmother’s dresser. That you feel a sense of honoring the immortality of our presence, sacrifice, and contributions. A collective portrait of the times we have survived and risen through. Reclaiming our power as we take control of our own narratives framed here in this anthology.
