Description

From the mamas who cook and watch over the community to the braiders and the Trinas, The Blvd celebrates a neighborhood and its people, who face hardship with grit, gratitude, and grace. It offers a distinct narrative of Compton's past that maps the joy and pride held by those who call this place home. The Blvd is the first poetry collection by Jenise Miller and the first collection developed and published through the DSTL Arts-Poet/Artist-in-Residence Program.
