Contributor Spotlight: Jeffery Renard Allen

"I am fascinated by the things that keep moving. Again and again, I find myself drawn to forms of knowledge that survive without obvious preservation systems."

Callaloo is pleased to announce the appointment of a new Book Reviews Editor, Mali Collins. Mali shares her vision for the role.

“Readers frequently desire to emulate what they read. I guess you could say that becoming a writer was an extension of being a reader.”

"Share your stories, because you never know who might be inspired, or even changed, by what you dared to put into the world."

Callaloo is honored to announce the appointment of a new fiction editor, Olufunke Ogundimu. Olufunke shares what she plans to bring to the genre editor role.

"I've been thinking a lot about how Black women endure in life...Being strong all the time is overrated and it's killing us."

"I want people to come together—across every divide—and dance, sweat, laugh, eat, plant, listen, nurture, and allow the impediments to Love to dissolve."

"I think of the writers published in Callaloo who have taught me so much about what it means to be a Black woman who writes and also loves everything Black."
