Well if you didn't dream it, what did you do, exactly? It's the 'exactly' that makes the difference between a post-it note to self and a poem.
An excerpt from 'The Poets' by Safia Elhillo, which is featured in the latest issue of The Poetry Review and available to read in full for free on our website. 📚

I think about this poem by Ian Duhig — about Jo Cox, the Labour MP assassinated by a man shouting ‘Britain first’ — every day at the moment. No other contemporary poet has looked so clearly at the political reality of the far right as a minority who must always be appeased

Great to be reacquainted with Valerie Mason-John (a.k.a Queenie) among many other trailblazers. I shared the honours with Martin Humphries of publishing Valerie's book of plays, poems and essays 'Brown Girl in the Ring'.
Incredible Black LGBT+ exhibition ‘Rukus: Federation’ at Somerset House — I’m actually going to go again because it’s so brilliant.
