Jennifer A. Ferretti We Reads, Winter 2020 About
We Reads is, first and foremost, about highlighting BIPOC voices in literature. It is also deeply personal, and joyfully so: we read as our whole selves, bringing our identities and experiences with us when we enter the world of a story or poem. The works collected here have resonated with, shaped, and nourished us this year, changing us in ways we might not yet understand and living inside us as we once chose to live inside them.
This PDF features works from our inaugural 2020 Collection (Winter), with ISBNs to support library workers interested in purchasing titles for collection development.
