BLACK PUNK NOW is an anthology of contemporary nonfiction, fiction, illustrations, and comics that collectively describe punk today and give punks—especially the Black ones—a wider frame of reference. It shows all of the strains, styles, and identities of Black punk that are thriving, and gives newcomers to the scene more chances to see themselves. Edited by graphic novelist and filmmaker James Spooner with author Chris L. Terry | @chrislterry Limited edition signed artist prints from BLACK PUNK NOW will also be exhibited.
