Pomona's second poet laureate Ceasar K. Avelar and the host of Pomona's longest running poetry venue Cory "Besskepp" Cofer join forces as editors of an anthology collecting poetry and essays about the people and places of Pomona. Poets who have read and performed over the decades at poetry venues based in Pomona: A Mic and Dim Lights and Obsidian Tongues, explore themes of grief, memory, injustice, trauma, and healing. This collection features work by Michael Torres, Matt Sedillo, Judah 1, Tamara Blue, Kat Magill, Alex Tha Great, Natalie Sierra and more.
