Stepping into a space of pure creativity, accented with curated visual art, live music, tasty finger foods, enlightening drinks and passionate spoken word performances. That's exactly what you can expect at the very first Call + Response Journal Book Launch.

The hearts and souls of artists across the nation have been poured into our newly self-published labor of love known as Volume I. This book launch and poetry reading event is our way of expressing gratitude to everyone who has supported Call + Response on this literary journey. Through your support, we amplified the voices of countless artists of color throughout the nation. We are saying thank you the best way we know how: great food, great drinks and plenty of live poetry readings; join us in celebration!
