Founded by Dr. Joanne V Gabbin and now helmed by Dr. Lauren K Alleyne, The Furious Flower Poetry Center is a vital import organization in the “literary world” writ large, but it is a particularly important organization in the Black and African Diasporic Literary ecosystem.
If you have been following The Center’s work, you will notice they have been doing a lot more work engaging visual art in collaboration with campus partners and have been building and exhibiting a collection of boardsides.
As an extension of this increased interdisciplinary engagementThe Center has published Worlds Within and Without: An Ekphrastic Catalogue a beautiful collection of Black Ekphrastic work.
