Enough! Poems of Resistance and Protest

Enough! Poems of Resistance and Protest, out from Littoral Books, was inspired by poets’ reactions to the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests that occurred in Maine and all over the country in response to it. Twenty-seven Maine poets were moved to speak out and give voice to what living in this time feels like, a time of outrage and struggle, protests and pandemic – writing with passion, anger, grief, and strength about this very moment in which we are living. Praised by Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco as “a powerful, prevalent and unflinching collection of political protest poetry in response to systemic racism and economic injustice,” the anthology includes fifty poems by poets from all over the state, and photographs of local protests by Portland documentary photographer, Nicholas Gervin.
