So,
this is how
it starts in books
they burn
or ban books
in books
that imagine
a world
that burns
or bans books
it starts there
with books that dare
to say this is how it is
or this is how it was
or this is how it could be
and if you
read books
you will know
from books
that this is
how it ends
so, this is how
it starts#sunday #poetry #poetsofmastodon #PessimismIsForLightweights #SalenaGodden #books

Last night ‘The Fire People’ won the Books Are My Bag Readers Award for poetry, love and thanks to the readers who voted for this. So awesome to be part of this trailblazing 1990’s book, this was the first time I saw my work in a real book, a huge moment for so many Black British writers. BIGlove to Lemn and ‘The Fire People’ poets and next generation ‘More Fiya’ poets too! BIGlove! #BooksAreMyBag #BookTwitter #BAMBReadersAwards #PoetryToot #poets #BookToot #Canongate #SalenaGodden #LemnSissay
