''We knew that black and brown bodies, working class voices, women''s voices, did not have a space where they could be heard - and so this writing collective was a necessary and political act''
In the early years of the new millennium, poets Malika Booker and Roger Robinson saw the need for a space for writers outside of the establishment to grow, improve, discuss and learnOne Friday night, Malika offered her Brixton kitchen table as a meeting place. And so Malika''s Poetry Kitchen was born.
''Kitchen'', as it became known, has ushered in a new generation of voices, launching some of the most exciting writers, books and initiatives in British poetry in the past twenty yearsToday, Kitchen is a thriving writers'' collective, with a wealth of talented poets and branches in Chicago and India.
Too Young, Too Loud, Too Different is a celebration of Kitchen''s legacy, an appreciation of its foundational spirit and a rallying cry for all writers to dream the futureThe collection features breathtaking new poems by Warsan Shire, Inua Ellams, Kayo Chingonyi, Dean Atta, Roger Robinson, Malika Booker among many others.
