Red by Kwame Dawes
Inspired by the word red, thiscollection of poems written by black British writersincluding both established authors and new, exciting poetsexplores the subjects and ideas stirred by a single trigger, from the word'susual associations with blood, violence, passion, and anger, as well as with sensuality and sexuality, to more surprising interpretations such as the link to a particular mood, the quality of light in the sky, the color of skin, and the sound of a song. This remarkable compilation succeeds in generating poems that find an intriguing resonance with each other while also revealing images and themes unique to the individual poets.
