One thing Transcendent Zero Press participates in doing with our anthologies is exploring the ways people perceive words through language and conceptual interplay. Hunger: an anthology is not so much about global hunger of which many suffer, but rather about the word itself and its poetic capacity of interpretation.

How can this benefit someone who is suffering under the yoke of hunger? Proceeds from this anthology will be donated to anonymous individuals in need of food.

According to NPR, 1 of 4 households in the USA suffered food insecurity in 2020. Global figures vary but one thing is certain. The pandemic has worsened malnutrition and global hunger. I hope the readership will keep this in mind while reading the poems and essays in this collection.

This international selection of pieces on hunger examine the malleability of language while using a common word with diverse range of expressive depths. Writings in this collection will hopefully entertain your reading eyes while broadening your vision of humanity.
