Make the World New

Topical in the current historical moment of Black Lives Matter protests and calls for institutional change, these poems though written as far back as the 1980s, still resound. Allen's poetry is both political and creative and details documentation of black life and resistance. Her work is intersectional in the most radical ways highlighting the need for gendered, racial and political change as a process of social transformation. Revisits dub poetry more generally as still an important, relevant and political, art form. A feature of these volumes is introduction and afterword that give context to the selection and the poet's process. Lillian Allen is a Juno award winning recording artist.
