Overview

From Here To There is an anthology of 101 poems and short prose exploring themes around African and African diasporic migration and (im)mobility. The collection shows us one another, brothers and sisters without borders, on shared journeys, with intertwined stories, loves, losses, hopes, dreams, joys, and relief. Together, we search for life, belonging, and a future we can call home. The anthology's title, From Here To There, comes from a poem by Thulani Mahlangu, one of 63 voices in this volume, that captures the displacement and longing that accompany the pursuit of a better future. The contributors are from many countries, on the continent, and in the diaspora. Some are well known, others are at the start of their careers. Edited by Nandi Jola and Omobola Osamor, the anthology features contributions from writers who include Yemi Atanda, Zainab M. Hassan, Ugwuja Emmanuel Ifeanyichukwu, Zan V. Johns, Anton Krueger, Octavia McBride-Ahebee, Jenny Mitchell, Tanure Ojaide, Dike Okoro, SuAndi, Furaha Youngblood, and more. From Here To There is the second volume in the Africa Migration Report Poetry Anthology Series, and follows Japa Fire: An Anthology of Poems on African and African Diasporic Migration which was released in 2024.
