The author, Ayokunle Falomo, has with this collection of poems woven a tapestry using the threads - of red, of blue, and white, and green, and black that make up this tapestry - of our interconnected stories. As much as we are tempted to remove some, they all belong here. There are poems in this collection that prompt us to take specific and urgent actions, especially in regards to how we respond to the threads of different colors from ours; and there are poems that call us to celebration. You are invited to join in to behold the beauty of the tapestry, and if you dare, contribute a thread.
