About the Anthology:

Voix de Résilience et Femmes et Révolution brings together 22 poets from Haiti, France, Canada, and the U.S., highlighting two vital themes: the resilience of women in the face of adversity and their central role in social and political change. Published by Les Amazones, this bilingual anthology (in French and Creole, with English translations) affirms poetry as a tool for healing, resistance, and transformation.
