CELEBRATE WHA?
Ten Black British Poets from the West Midlands Edited by Eric Doumerc and Roy McFarlane (Birmingham Poet Laureate 2011)
CELEBRATE WHA? is an anthology of poems about identity and race with a mix of curry goat ‘n’ rice, a reggae rhythm, born out of a blend of dub, grime, performance poetry, politics, anger and laughter.
Ten poets – Dreadlock Alien, Sue Brown, Marcia Calame, Evoke, Martin Glynn, Michelle Hubbard, Kokumo, Roy McFarlane, Chester Morrison and Moqapi Selassie – explore what it means to be black and British and from the West Midlands.
CELEBRATE WHA? is dedicated to Birmingham’s Black poets – long overdue.
