We The People Anthology Book Release & Open Mic
Advertisement
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, (Un)Known Project is proud to announce the release of its inaugural anthology, We The People: The Stories Beneath the Constitution, a collection of poetry and prose that reimagines the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution through the voices, truths, and lived experiences of writers from diverse backgrounds.
For generations, the words “We the People” have helped define who belongs in America. This anthology asks a different question: Who has been left out, and what would it look like to write ourselves back in?
The anthology features original work from:
