Why read it?

2 authors picked Infinite Constellations as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is an unusual anthology that speaks loud to the reader, reminding them of their loves and hurts, longings, terrors, and dreams.

It’s a cross-lingual hybrid with a literary bend that integrates poetry and short fiction, and is inclusive in its cast of authors of Black, Black-Latinx, Cherokee, Japanese-American, and contributors of much diversity.

The anthology is both visually aesthetic—in the artistic array of its poetry—and textually arresting with stories of ancestry, superstition, and the deity.

This cross-lingual anthology is a unique hybrid of cultural poems and short stories from people of color in a crossroads of diasporas.

Contributing authors identify as Black, Black-Latinx, Filipo-Spanish-Chinese, Jamaican with Chinese heritage, Japanese-American, Cherokee, Euro-American Cherokee, Cuban, Jewish, Santeros, and more. Stories of transmorphed identities tug at the reader with lived experiences of belonging/unbelonging in a blend of the creative and scholarly.

The anthology is rich with the call of ancestry—peoples and place. Memorable prose poetry and short stories full of soul.
