Black Writing Matters
Edited by: Whitney French
University of Regina Press
Slated for Publication 2019
An anthology of African-Canadian writing, Black Writing Matters offers a cross-section of established writers and newcomers to the literary world who tackle contemporary and pressing issues with beautiful, sometimes raw, prose. As Whitney French says in her introduction, Black Writing Matters “injects new meaning into the word diversity [and] harbours a sacredness and an everydayness that offers Black people dignity.” An “invitation to read, share, and tell stories of Black narratives that are close to the bone,” this collection feels particular to the Black Canadian experience.
This collection will be edited by Whitney French

Excerpt from the Introduction:
"There are similar themes & motifs I’m excited to explore in this collection too: memory, loss, digitizing grief, environmental degradation, surgical procedures and time but the main thing I was most fascinated by is neo-narratives. The ability for characters to redefine story within their own temporal context.
It’s like pushing the boundaries of not only the universe, but the ways in which the universe’s narrative is being told. I’m unapologetically sticking my face into the atmosphere and letting the stars kiss my skin."
