Their voices have enriched our literary landscape, bringing diverse stories & perspectives that resonate deeply with readers. Our authors have crafted narratives that challenge, inspire, & provoke thought, creating a tapestry of literature that is both powerful & transformative.

Black History Month is a time to reflect on and celebrate the profound contributions of Black authors, board members, and the community that have significantly impacted CavanKerry Press and its legacy. (1/2)

Dr. King reminded us that justice does not arrive politely—at CavanKerry Press, we believe literature is one of those acts of care. Today and always, we stand with underserved communities, honoring voices that insist on dignity, freedom, and truth. #MLKDAY #ArtsActivism

"Reconstructing Eden" a stunning rendering of a Black child moving through life with anger being an unknown rising in him. Only through a violent act during Desert Storm does he realize the murderous intent in his heart. Through his writing, he begins to cleanse himself.

Told in what the author calls Jazz Triptych, Indigo Moor harnesses the anger within himself to perform an exorcism of the childhood that led him inching toward murder in the dizzying racism of his life. (1/2) 🔗 👉 buff.ly/rPWZpjO #poetry #nonprofit #cavankeryrpress
