A World of Black and Blue

Black and Blue is a dynamic chapbook that blends poetry with historical context and ancestral memory. Cradled gently in a dialect of imagination and honesty, Dorian Blue conjures an alluring collection of multidimensional poetry that dives deep into the social, cultural, and historical experiences of the queer Black body.

“If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, you must be the one to write it.”
— Toni Morrison
“You write in order to change the world … if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it.”
— James Baldwin
