Living Legacy Honorees

We hope this unique collection of Notables and "Neighborhood Poets" will ignite discussions, increase the visibility of Black female poets, and encourage artists of all kinds to follow in the footsteps of Gwendolyn Brooks with a commitment to
creativity and community.



Let the conversations begin!
