This is the newly updated TimBookTu website.
Since its beginning in 1996, TimBookTu has been an Internet pioneer offering its online audience poetry, fiction, essays and other forms of the written word. The site has focused on writing that relates to African-American culture, the black experience and the shared heritage of those of the African diaspora. This recent update is focused on giving the site a fresh new look and to clean up many old pages on the site that haven't been updated in years. Bear with us as we continue and maintain our position as the pre-eminent site for African-American poetry, fiction and essays.
