A compilation of poems about racism in the workplace and in childhood, including winning entries from the second Black in White Poetry Competition
This book, like its predecessor, is dedicated to all those who see and value the benefits of equality, diversity and inclusion, and who labour actively in whatever capacity within this field to help open the minds of those who are the reason why these poems have been written...
As I read the poems I was moved, more than I ever expected, and then made angry, disgusted and frustrated that individuals are still being denied fair opportunities, are attacked and made to feel less, to be devalued. I was also inspired and felt the beauty of the poems...
Avril Lee, Chair of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations' Diversity and Inclusion NetworkI was so genuinely impressed by the quality of entries. Impressed, too, by the diversity of voice, style, and lived experience. There was an abundance of passion, mainly, I believe, due to the addition of the 'childhood racism' category. The entries... were evocative and profound.
