Willow Books is pleased to announce the debut of a new monthly journal, Continuum. Forged in the success of the Black Fire This Time anthology series on the Black Arts Movement,  Continuum will cover every era of Black American writing, from the earliest works from centuries prior to the present.

“There is still so much of African American writing that has yet to be discovered and appreciated,” said publisher Heather Buchanan. “This journal series will enable that to happen.”

Continuum Volume 1 will feature classics from the late icon Nikki Giovanni and haiku by Lenard Moore. Additional works include original The Lion King cast member Mark Allan Davis’ “Somebody ‘Blew Up’ San Francisco State College” and poetry by Ishmael Reed. Contemporary works from the greatest current generation writers will round out every edition.
