Poetry and Settled Status for All: An Anthology

Viac o knihe

The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted inequalities that exist in most countries and how these are affecting disadvantaged groups, among them people with precarious immigration status and those who are undocumented. Around the world, campaigners are asking governments to give Settled Status, Indefinite Leave to Remain and humane pathways to citizenship to all in their jurisdictions who need such status. Poetry and Settled Status for All responds to these calls and presents 114 poems and short prose pieces from 97 writers from around the world exploring themes that include lived experience of migration, refugee and undocumented migrant experiences, and the hostile environment. The anthology features contributions from seasoned writers with many publications to their names alongside emerging voices and has been described variously as "powerful", "thought-provoking" and "effective".
