The World Reimagined, Henry Stone, Benjamin Zephaniah et al

An incredible collection of poetry written by some of the UK’s favourite poets and talented school students who took part in The World Reimagined. The World Reimagined is an arts education programme to transform our understanding of the Transatlantic trade in enslaved Africans and its impact on us all today. The poems invite you on our Journey of Discovery - nine themes that give us the opportunity to learn from our past, understand our present and reimagine a future all of us can create together. Travel with us through time, from Mother Africa to The Realities of Being Enslaved and Echoes in the Present; through Still We Rise, Expanding Soul and Reimagine the Future.
