Hello family, friends, and associates,

April is National Poetry Month and Say It Loud! Readers and Writers! 28th Anniversary. April also marks the beginning of the second quarter of 2025, making it a great time to check the status of your 2025 vision board and New Year's resolutions.
Join us on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 11 AM to 1 PM CST at the African American Museum of Dallas as we pay tribute to poet, author, publisher, and Third World Press founder Haki Madhubuti. We will discuss his poem "Art" from his book Run Toward Fear: New Poems and a Poet's Handbook, and the permission granted to reprint the poem in my book On My Own: Vision Board Guidebook for Young People. I spent five years as director of sales and marketing at the Third World Press Foundation. This is a great discussion and activity for young people. The guidebook also has poetry in it from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks, author and publisher Jessica Care Moore, and educator Dr. Marcelle Haddix.

📚✨ New Release ✨📚

We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with acclaimed poet, scholar, and educator Dr. Keith Gilyard, with the release of his latest poetry collection, “On Location” published by Third World Press Foundation.

As Dr. Brenda M. Greene beautifully shares:

“The memories in this movie help you to heal and recover. This is the essence of Gilyard’s ‘On Location’. It’s a field trip filled with vivid and poignant images that capture what it means to live as a Black man, writer, and scholar in America. The poetry collection will resonate with many.”

Celebrate National Poetry Month with a voice that moves, remembers, and uplifts !
