Diaspora Issue
If the goal for our founding issue was to advance conversations about Blackness and literature in its many manifestations, then our diaspora issue seeks to not only tether Black people, but to expand the various aesthetic modalities they write in and envision the world as Black people.
Lampblack's Diaspora Issue features works by writers Carl Phillips, Tyriek White, Yolande Clark-Jackson, I.S. Jones, Djarah Kan translated by Barbara Ofosu-Somuah, John Keene, A. Van Jordan, Maya Doig-Acuña, Brittany K. Allen, Zeus Sumra, and Kwaku Osei-Afrifa.
30% of the proceeds from the printing of this issue will be redirected into Lampblack’s Direct Aid Program, and the rest will be used to support the organization's operations in 2022.
