Genocide. Climate collapse. Culture Wars. Physical War. The global picture in these Roaring Twenties can leave little to inspire and uplift, and rhetoric is rife aiming to stoke fires of hate and distrust. But poetry – like many art forms, but perhaps more so than any other – is universal, and has real power to unite.
Raising voices from around the globe as one, from across continents and myriad walks of life, Interwoven is a celebration of that which unites us – the people, places and forces which have in our power to use for good. Woven into these pages is a celebration of the rich tapestry of humanity – a lyrical teasing-out of threads that unite us. These are poems to pick up in anger, in distrust, in confusion – and an anthology that will show you the good all around you.
