In a world where people of colour are too often silenced and labelled, this anthology gathers poets and writers who refuse both. The Poetry of Terrorists and Other Angry Black and Brown People – TPOT – confronts the language used against us and answers with craft, clarity, and courage. These poems and short prose move through anger, yes, but also longing, love, peculiarity, curiosity, and the fantasy; themes of human experiences we all share. Together they show how it feels to live now, across identity, without asking permission to speak.
A portion of every sale supports charities serving children, particularly orphans, impacted by war and genocide, so they too may have a voice.
May these pages offer recognition, spark conversation, and embolden you to raise your voice for yourself, and for the world around you.
R. Y. Abdulrehman, Samantha Turenne, & Anthony Q. Farrell — Editors
