BAME PAMPHLET
WINNERS 2019
Last summer, prompted by our low representation of BAME poets, we teamed up with
Shagufta K. Iqbal to find three emerging voices from BAME communities, previously
unpublished.
From over 100 submissions, Shagufta selected Caroline Teague from London,
Adrian Earle from Birmingham and Hanan Issa from Cardiff.
MY BODY CAN HOUSE TWO
HEARTS skips across the fragile
boundaries of history, culture,
relationships, and language.
It explores the transitory balance of
belonging by tying threads between
different places and ideas not often
compared. Traverse the poet’s
perception of her Welsh and Iraqi
heritage, positioning as a woman of
colour, and the nuances of feminist
action.
My Body Can House Two Hearts is a
celebration of women’s redemptive
interdependency and the rejection of
patriarchal power.

ISBN 978-1-911570-75-2
All pamphlets will be released in
October 2019 and celebrated with
three special launches. Visit our
website for updates.
OCTOBER

7. The poems in 5000 HURTS play with
the language of formality, the magic of
the mundane, the events & characters
hidden in the mass of a crowd or
behind the glare of a computer screen.
These poems know we are often far
from our best, that we hurt each other,
often carelessly, sometimes callously,
but by accepting our flaws and
incongruities we can be better.

In this debut collection Caroline Teague
addresses ideas of melancholy linked to
striving for a sense of belonging and home.
GOOD EARTH explores grief, family and
several identities that fit outside what is
considered the ‘standard’.
These poems are deeply personal
explanations of feelings that travel between
pain and longing to build a tender bridge
of understanding and comfort between the
reader and the author.

8. CIRCLES
Carmina Masoliver
...I have met strangers sat on fences.
They claimed to love me
but I just blew them away with the
smoke from my cigarette...
...I could fall in love again.
I could do this all over again.
But what does that matter?
What does it matter when I love her?
An epic poem inspired by Sarah Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis.

9. NOVEMBER
Tom Denbigh’s wickedly beautiful writing holds up a distorted
mirror to the world. Deftly weaving the queer experience
alongside tales of friends and strangers, Tom toys with myth,
devilish humour, and absurdity to portray the bizarre and
brilliant in the everyday.
Imagination is brought to life in this unique collection that is
thought-provoking, insightful and startlingly joyous.
£9.99
ISBN 978-1-911570-72-1

10. GALAXY WALK
shareefa energy
Galaxy Walk vanquishs rose tinted spectacles, the
veils of illusion and indoctrination. It observes
the world with hands that seek to scratch
further than the surface. This debut collection
expresses truth as a means of survival in society
that seeks to suppress big spirits. It looks at
history, challenging the British education system,
injustices witnessed from Grenfell to Sierra Leone.

ISBN 978-1-911570-78-3

11. DECEMBER
ALRIGHT,
GIRL?
Maria Ferguson
‘I have seen how hard it is to be a part
of this furniture. It can make a young man
old. But it settles in your skin,
to the marrow of your bones.
So when I sit in the pub with the men
who pay my rent, I laugh and listen carefully.
Feed on words over gin and tonic,
the things we share, my heritage.
And when they tell me it is changing
I say, I am changing with it.’
