Ten: the new wave presents poetry from some of the most exciting
new poets in Britain today. These ten poets were selected for The
Complete Works 2 mentoring project, a groundbreaking initiative to
promote diversity and quality in British poetry, initiated by the
writer Bernardine Evaristo. The poets follow on from the first
group to take part in this scheme, whose work was published in
Bernardine Evaristo and Daljit Nagra's anthology Ten: new poets
from Spread the Word (2010). Most of those poets have gone on to
win awards and have their poetry collections published. The new
poets in this anthology are Mona Arshi, Jay Bernard, Kayo
Chingonyi, Rishi Dastidar, Edward Doegar, Inua Ellams, Sarah Howe,
Adam Lowe, Eileen Pun and Warsan Shire. These poets have
backgrounds in Asia, Europe, the Caribbean and Africa, and their
work draws on their multicultural heritage and tapestry. Many of
them also work across art forms and have enjoyed success as
playwrights, graphic artists and even in the martial arts.
Talented, adventurous and culturally rich, these poets will open up
new landscapes for the reader.
