Founded in 2020, in Chicago, the mission of Barrio Blues Press is to elevate the voices of emerging writers and to help build a cooperative society. Visionaries for a better world will be given a voice through the press. Beginning with Nation: A Poetry Book by Penned in the City (for the Chicago Freedom School); to Unity: Volume 1: A Magical Realism Anthology, an anthology of international writers, poets, and artists, aimed at raising money for Doctors Without Borders; to Wolf Trek: A Post-Apocalyptic Werewolf Novelette's; to free-forever books for young and seasoned readers: Barrio Blues Press began its mission, summer 2020 and continues to thrive.
We are elated to have our third author, Eric Allen Yankee, poet and novelist, signed on with Barrio Blues Press with his poetry collection, This War: Poems. This work is revolutionary and humorous. You are in for a real treat! In these ways, Barrio Blues Press will fulfill its mission and grow its scope. We are grateful for all the artists, authors, and volunteers who contribute to the press and for readers like you. ¡Gracias de todo corazón!
