anthology

Collection of prose, poetry, and other from the OBAC collective in Chicago. From the back cover 'A Literary Legacy of Black Chicago contains early and new poetry, fiction, drama, and essays by over 50 past or current OBAC members.'

An anthology by the participants of the Friday morning writer's workshop at Chicago Public Library's Budlong Woods Branch. Each poem, essay, and story carry with it the mantra, "every person is a poet and philosopher."

H. Melt curates this collection of essays (mostly originally online), documenting a critical queer, nonfiction literary voice that is strongly rooted in Chicago. Themes include the need to talk more openly about race, class, and privilege, the power of community support, and the experience of living in Chicago. Builds on the work of Chicago-based queer publications like Chicago IRL, In Our Words, and others. (Adapted from Melt's introduction to the collection.)

&Now is an anthology of short fiction that attempts to explore the boundaries of the written word and challenge the form of the 19th century novel.
