Mapping the Future: The Complete Works Poets brings together work by all 30 Fellows of the Complete Works poetry mentoring scheme supporting British poets from diverse backgrounds.
This video features poems from Leo Boix, Victoria Adukwei Bulley, Ian Humphreys, Degna Stone, Rishi Dastidar, Adam Lowe, Eileen Pun, Rowyda Amin, Malika Booker, Roger Robinson, Denise Saul, Seni Seneviratne and Inua Ellams.
The Complete Works supported 30 poets from 2008 through to 2020, and has become the most successful collective ever formed in British poetry. In her Foreword to the anthology, Booker Prize winner Bernardine Evaristo explains why she was prompted to set up The Complete Works programme. A report she initiated found that in 2008 the level of poets of colour published by major presses was less than 1%. By 2020 it was over 20%. The Complete Works Poetry played a significant role in this transformation of the British poetry scene, producing three Forward Prize winners, two T.S. Eliot Prize and Ted Hughes Award winners, along with single prize wins for the Somerset Maugham Award, Dylan Thomas Prize, Rathbones Folio Prize and Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award. TCW Fellows have gone on to judge every major poetry award, publishing over 40 collections between them.
Hear poems from even more contributors at our live online launch event on Tuesday 17 October (7pm BST), when we will be joined by Denise Saul, Leo Boix, Nick Makoha, Edward Doegar and Will Harris, as well as anthology editors Nathalie Teitler and Karen McCarthy Woolf.
