An anthology of poems and art exploring Afrofuturism, science fiction, and speculative fiction by Black writers and writers of color.
"A formidable collection of talent...The Future of Black is a necessary compendium of early 21st-century Afrofuturistic verse and thought."—Los Angeles Review of Books
"Superstars of poetry have created work around both real-life and fictional superheroes in this innovative collection of poetry and art... This unique volume is a wonderful addition to library collections invested in the celebration of Black voices and Black visual art."—Booklist
"The Future of Black is a marvel. Some of the best Black voices out there deconstructing subjects we've all come to know intimately. But not like this. Superheroes and superheroism, pop-culture and genre media are transmuted into poetry that is sharp and staggering. Pick this book up and savor it. You won't regret it."—Cadwell Turnbull, No Gods, No Monsters and The Lesson
