All Ways Black: Black Love + Poetry

Cree Myles

Cree Myles, Founding Editor of All Ways Black

One of the hills that I'll die on is the “poets are the best writers” hill. Their constant grasp for the inarticulable makes them masters at finding the right word even in the most unexpected place.

Several stunning collections have come out in the last year (even in the last month — hello, Warsan Shire). If you’re looking for a place to start, I hope these recommendations will get you motivated. ❤️
