Synopsis

Black: There are No Rules in Poetry, tells the story of a young mixed race woman as she navigates the streets of East London. This coming of age story uses the power of poetry to address issues such as race, abuse and relationships, while also touching on the feelings which many experienced during the lockdown period of 2020. The poems are broken down into three chapters, each reflecting a different stage of the main character's life. The poems are both touching and relatable, offering a true insight to what it is like growing up in a world where race is such a huge factor in survival.
