From Barnsley and Beyond: Change the Word Barnsley
Connection in the pandemic was a strange and precious thing. Every poem in this latest anthology was written during lockdown, each confined within four walls. But what brought the poets together was a discovered love of words as a way to cross the divide – as a way to explore and understand and express the world, even when we couldn’t be out in it.
The poets published in this book are from nine countries – Albania, Egypt, Iran, Kurdistan, Malaysia, Turkey, Sudan, UK and Zimbabwe. And they are living in towns and cities across England – Barnsley, Bradford, Coventry, Huddersfield, London, Sheffield.
Their words spark new ways of seeing. They speak out of these pages and into your rooms across the world, wherever you may be.
