“Coming February 23”
Voice of the Two Shores

“18th August, 2022”
Before Them, We
Exploring the lives of grandparents and elders before the families they went on to establish, digging deep into the narratives of their lives that are lesser known: who they loved, where and why they migrated, why they had families.
“exploring themes of dreams and memory”
Articulations for Keeping the Light In
A dazzling array of poetics and forms, ranging from the mechanics of crossword puzzles, erasure and language to techno inflected sensuality, prayer and the personal dynamics of light produced by poets of the 2022 Barbican Young Poets cohort.
“Mama, I made it / out of your home / alive, raised by / the voices / in my head.”
Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head
Drawing from her life and the lives of loved ones, as well as pop culture, news headlines and banter, Warsan Shire untwines vivid, transformative details from the experiences of refugees and immigrants, mothers and daughters, Black women and teenage girls.

Articulations for Keeping the Light In
Articulations for Keeping the Light In collects and celebrates work produced by poets of the 2022 Barbican Young Poets cohort. In a dazzling array of poetics and forms, ranging from the mechanics of crossword puzzles, erasure and language to techno inflected sensuality, prayer and the personal dynamics of light, these poems continue to extend the legacy the Barbican programme has established and showcase the potency and integrity of contemporary poetry.
…having discovered a poet’s work we are always delighted to find that they have been published by flipped eye… It means we can be confident that the poet has been rigorously edited and will have a book that’s beautifully designed and produced with care and attention.
