​Debuting Celia DaPoet's first collection of poetry, With a Chance of Rainbows is a journey through storms and sunlight, a collection of poetry and short stories that explore the intersections of mental health, Blackness, and lesbian love. Through raw vulnerability and tender joy, Celia DaPoet weaves a narrative of healing—finding hope after the downpour, love in unexpected places, and the strength to embrace every shade of herself. This book is a testament to survival, to softness, and to the beauty that comes when the rain finally clears.

This collection is more than just poetry. It’s a testament to the power of community, the beauty of shared stories, and the magic that happens when voices come together. Curated from the hearts and minds of poets who have graced the open mic, these words reflect the love, pain, joy, and resilience that fuel our artistry.

​

Hosted and produced by Celia "DaPoet" Douglas, these open mics have been more than events; they’ve been homes for expression, safe havens for truth, and celebrations of creativity. This book is a thank you, a love letter, to every artist, every audience member, and every supporter who has poured into this space. Your voices matter. Your presence is felt. This collection is for you.
