MEET THE 2023-2025 BRONX POET LAUREATE, KAY BELL!

Kay Bell is an Educator, Storyteller and music enthusiast. Her poetry aims to
weave  the language of activism with the voice of the marginalized to confront
and interrogate literary spaces of oppression. For her, writing works as a
birthing floor for healing, invention, and reimagination— where the poetic voice
is responsible for both blessing and bruising the inquiring reader. Through
writings such as “Work Sonnet,” & “Watching You Sleep” Kay continues to give
rise to poetics that challenge societal norms, promote empathy, and inspires
change. Currently, she works as an Academic Advisor and Adjunct Professor at the
city college of New York and can be found nurturing her plants and her two sons,
in the heart of the South Bronx. 

The Bronx Poet Laureate promotes the inclusion of and passion for poetry across
the Bronx, looking to inspire a new generation of writers and poets, and to
educate Bronx residents about the history of poetry in our borough. The Poet
Laureate serves as an ambassador for poetry and creative expression in the
Bronx, committed to upholding and growing the borough's literary community.


HELP US BRING ANOTHER BOOKSTORE TO THE BRONX!

Yerr, we need your help to bring another bookstore to the Bronx! Our mission is
to celebrate literacy and foster a love of reading among children, teens, and
adults aka for those young at heart. What better way to do that than to open a
dedicated space for readers of all ages, especially young people to gather and
talk books in a safe space.
