ABOUT THE POETRY ANTHOLOGY SERIES

The Africa Migration Report Poetry Anthology Series is a multi-year, multi-volume initiative that is publishing poetry anthologies exploring themes around African and African diasporic migration and (im)mobility. The series was inspired by the "Africa Migration Report: 2nd Edition" published by the African Union and International Organisation for Migration in March 2024.[2]

"Japa Fire: An Anthology of Poems on African and African Diasporic Migration", the first collection in the series was published by CivicLeicester in December 2024. [3]

Our call for submissions[4] is open 365 days a year, because every day is Africa Day, and because we would like to keep the conversation going for as long as it takes for the African migrant to be treated with dignity and respect on the continent and around the world.
