Sanctuary

"A necessary and urgent response to the world's increasing crises…" – Robert Minhinnick

"These poems are challenging, immediate, generous, uncompromising, urgent interventions in present-day affairs. The poems are tough but humane, sensitive but fearless, alarming but reassuring: this collection reminds us that at a time of trauma poetry is not optional - it is essential." – Dr Kevin De Ornellas, Lecturer in English, Ulster University

"…impactful, emotionally-resonant, multicultural collection" Dr Matthew M. C. Smith, writer and editor of Black Bough Poetry.

Sanctuary is – urgent. The pandemic has made people crave it; political crises are denying it to millions; the earth is no longer our haven. Even our minds & bodies are not refuges we can rely on. Angela Graham & 5 other poets from Wales & Northern Ireland explore Sanctuary from the inside, asking how we can save the earth, ourselves and others?
