Ordinary people have presented extraordinary stories through the power of poetry, shedding light on the challenges of racism, so we never forget its ugliness and we recognise the need to address it if we as a people are to progress.

Charlotte, your latest book…like the others, is full of insight, forcing one to think about the world we have constructed yet full of inspiration for change – thanks to you and the other contributors.
