Dear Poet,

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. 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.

The answers you provide will be digested in a public report, “Deep like the rivers…”: A Report on Black Poets to be published in 2027. Some of your narrative answers may be quoted in an effort to help Cave Canem develop further resources to support Black poets. In the event a quotation is utilized, the identity of the source will remain anonymous, even to the organization.

We appreciate you lending your voice and experience to this effort!
