Description
Book SynopsisNew Beginnings is a poetry collection with a difference – resulting from an international competition seeking to find those whose voices were silenced in 2020, the resulting anthology forms a celebration of the end of the toxic aspects of 2020 and the pandemic, a glimmer of hope for the future and a manifesto for change. Featuring poetry by: Sora Li Anders, Lucy Beckley, Heinrich Beindorf, Martin Bennett, Nisha Bhakoo, David Bottomley, Allie Bullivant, Priyanka Kelly Burns, Laura Chouette, Rose Cook, Anna Dallaire, Ella Dane-Liebesny, Ieva Dapkevicius, Catherine Edmunds, Molly J.
