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. |
