A preview of the launch of Filigree: Contemporary Black British Poetry published by Inscribe/Peepal Tree.

Celebrate the publication of this new book with a preview reading with some of the poets whose work is included, such as Aisha Phoenix, Selina Rodrigues, Maggie Harris, Michael Campbell, Nandita Ghose and Roy McFarlane.

 
Filigree is the second anthology of contemporary Black British poetry published by Peepal Tree Press, a leader in Caribbean and Black British Literature. It follows in the footsteps of previous successful anthologies: RED (poetry) and Closure (short stories). RED has been described by Michael Rosen as, “a major contribution to the diverse cultures of blackness.” Filigree’s inclusion of fresh voices from a younger generation of Black British poets illustrates Inscribe’s commitment to producing groundbreaking anthologies. Included are young Poet Laureate’s of London, Poets from the Octavia collective, Barbican Young Poets and The Complete Works as well as a wealth of other recognisable names.
