Intro
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.
Malika’s Poetry Kitchen was founded in August 2001 by Malika Booker alongside Roger Robinson to meet the need for diverse writers, who had too often been neglected by the traditional establishment, to have a space to work on their craft. Malika Booker prepared food and invited a group of new and developing writers and poets to her house. The organisation has inspired Malika’s Poetry Kitchen chapters worldwide, from Chicago to Delhi.
