Infinite Constellations showcase the voices and visions of 30 writers, both new and established, from the global majority: Native American/First Nation writers, South Asian writers, East Asian writers, Black American writers, Latinx writers, and Caribbean and Middle Eastern writers. Together, they create visions both familiar and strange, rooted in the mystery of human relationships, the deep honoring of memory, and the rootedness to place and the centering of culture.

The speculations in this anthology mirror, instruct, myth-make and myth-invert, make us laugh, think, gasp, and grieve. Any dangers herein, imagined or observed in poem and story, transport us: moving the reader from latent observer to fully immersed participant, unleashing new depths of understanding, seeding a new awareness of humanity’s constellations of experiences and symphonies of belonging.

“In collecting this work,” note editors Khadijah Queen and K. Ibura, “we felt humbled by the love threaded throughout the voices speaking to us in stories and poems that vault beyond expectation and settle in our consciousness as an expansion of what’s possible when we tend to one another with intention.”
