About Black Geographies:
Black Geographies is a conceptual landscape of poetry & music that focuses on the possibilities of language as a tool of self-definition/invention.
In issue 8, you’ll find poems about choosing life and the necessity of weaving dreams and ancestral calls into reality. There’s speculative fiction inspired by a family photo at a New Years party in 1960s Congo, and a story that charts the intertwined dreams of two lovers. You’ll read about theories of radical chaos and the desperate need for interconnected resilience through the lens of jazz modalities. You’ll meet on the dancefloor, in the cinema, in bed, in nature, at an altar.
We have have set aside a portion of free tickets, please email sweetthanginfo@gmail.com if you'd like one.
