Planet Black Joy Anthology A project of Rosarium Publishing (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (January 2025). We provide the following information as an archive. About We want to showcase stories of Black joy in the fantastical and the mundane in the present, past, and the future. We’d like a variety of Black joy from catharsis to irreverence to clawing resilience out of the darkness. From Black Twitter after the Alabama Brawl to the kind of joy that has been constructed in the face of white supremacy and patriarchy. We want to know what Black joy means to you.
