Black Butterfly: Voices of the African Diaspora
Black Butterfly: Voices of the African Diaspora chronicles the generational aftermath of the Middle Passage through poetry, prose, and the resonant voices of the African Diaspora. Structured around four transformative concepts—Cocoon (family, home, and heritage), Metamorphosis (resilience through trauma, abuse, and war), Migration (displacement, immigration, and the search for belonging), and Pollination (the collective impact of our journeys on one another and the world). This anthology brings together deeply personal and powerfully political reflections on Black identity, survival, and legacy.

Black Butterfly invites readers into the sacred work of remembrance and rebirth. These pages pulse with ancestral memory, hard-won truths, and a fierce tenderness that binds continents, generations, and futures.
Featuring award-winning authors Noelle Kristina Barnes and Y Kendall, alongside arresting poetry collections from Hailey M. Young and E. Doyle-Gillespie.

Joining them are the compelling voices of...
Aanika Pfister, Albert Christer Singletary, Alayna Powell, Andrés Amitai Wilson, Anesha Grant, Ava Tiye Kinsey, Blessing Odunyemi, Carlo Kim, Celeste Haehnel, Christopher Neal, Christian Curet, Cianga, Eaton Jackson, Elaine Joy Edaya Degale, Elina Kumra, Jamella Chesney, Jamil Anuva, Kandle Jones, Matthew E.
