Do you identify as a Black poet? Cave Canem, in collaboration with Slover Linett at NORC, is developing a Black Poet census. The responses will be digested in a public report, “deep like the rivers…”: a Report on Black Poets, and later a digital mapping tool, to be published in
2027.

The report takes its name from the Langston Hughes poem, “The Negro Speaks of Rivers.”

The survey is open now (with a special extension) through July 15th!!

Join us!!

Last year, Cave Canem endeavored on its first research project, “Magnitude and Bond: A Field Study on the State of Black Literary Arts Organizations”. From that work, they gained valuable insight into the lack of funding for Black literary arts organizations that support the work of Black writers. There is much learning to be had from the community of African Diasporic poets at large, and from the communities within that community, which overlap and network with each other. To document these networks, Cave Canem, in collaboration with Slover Linett at NORC, is conducting a Black Poet census that surveys the Black poetic community at large. The answers you provide will be digested in a public report, “deep like the rivers…”: a Report on Black Poets, and later a digital mapping tool, to be published in 2027. The report takes its name from the Langston Hughes poem, “The Negro Speaks of Rivers.” The survey is open now through July 8th. Visit the link in our bio to learn more and participate.
