Our Platform - Lyrically Justified Anthologies
Volume 3
Currently at the printers, and aptly themed IDENTITY, we are proud to announce we're going independent as publishers. Over 70 poets have been gathered, again representing under exposed yet crucial voices of a refreshed generation, determined by being human, over privilege. Join us on our journey as we strive to thrive, to fight our corner, as the people v the system narrative continues. No doubt we've over achieved so far, but need your support. In terms of guidance, we promise you'll be investing in you and your children's futures. |
Volume 2
Compiled by UWC, this same themed Instalment represents over 40 writers, including Miles Chambers (Bristol's first City Poet), Rebecca Tantony, Tanya Douglas, Muneera Williams (of Hib Hop Hijabis) Tom Burgess, Splitz P, Lawrence Hoo, Dareece James, Henna CanPoetry and more, a definitive step forward from Volume 1. "A platform to the promising voices of a game changing generation..." Charlotte Maxwell - Culture Word, Manchester |
Volume 1
Themed Freedom of Expression, reflecting the times, issues and recent events, complied by Shaun Clarke, 21 eclectic & urban poets from around the Nation represent their selves and communities, including Dr. Edson Burton, Nadinne Dyen, Testament, Saj Ahmed, and Empress Imani, InI Oneness, Karabo Moruakgomo. "... Of society, personal struggle, freedom and rights" Khadijah Ibrahiim |
Collective Spirit
|
This is the Leeds-based Lyrically Justified team. They've teamed up to promote themselves, as well as Lyrically Justified - a book that brings together emerging talent from across the UK. You'll notice that the group is racially and culturally diverse, and this tradition will continue. Volume 2 (2018) gathered another impressive set of poets that we need to know, boosting the collective overall, taking it to another level. History, news, reviews, photos and more at Lyricallyjustified.co.uk although you may only purchase on this website. |
