"A necessary and urgent response to the world's increasing crises..." - Robert Minhinnick
"These poems are challenging, immediate, generous, uncompromising, urgent interventions in present-day affairs. The poems are tough but humane, sensitive but fearless, alarming but reassuring: this collection reminds us that at a time of trauma poetry is not optional - it is essential." - Dr Kevin De Ornellas, Lecturer in English, Ulster University
"...impactful, emotionally-resonant, multicultural collection" Dr Matthew M. C. Smith, writer and editor of Black Bough Poetry.
Sanctuary is - urgent. The pandemic has made people crave it; political crises are denying it to millions; the earth is no longer our haven. Even our minds & bodies are not refuges we can rely on. Angela Graham & 5 other poets from Wales & Northern Ireland explore Sanctuary from the inside, asking how we can save the earth, ourselves and others?

Belfast-born Angela Graham divides her time between Wales and Northern Ireland. Alongside her own work, she has designed this collection to embody the hosting, welcoming aspect of Sanctuary by inviting four other poets to work with her in writing a poem each, two from Wales and two from Northern Ireland.
