The collection features powerful new work from acclaimed performance-poets Simon Murray (Sai Murai) and Dorothea Smartt, commissioned during PLATFORM’s season “C Words: Carbon, Climate, Capital, Culture” (Arnolfini, Bristol, England in 2009).

It republishes selected work from the anthology “Dance the Guns to Silence: 100 Poems for Ken Saro-Wiwa (Flipped Eye 2005) by Helon Habila, Sue Richardson, Davd Eggleton, Tolu Ogunlesi, Carmen Borja, and features major Bristol poets Ros Martin and Edson Burton. The anthology debuts fresh exciting work from participants in the “Full Circle/Killing TINA, Embracing Taboo” workshops run by Simon and Dorothea during C Words, and ends with a compelling piece by Zena Edwards. This is a rare volume which both balms the soul, galvanises the spirit, and stirs up hope and action.
