Oluwale Now An Anthology of Poetry, Prose and Artwork Responding to the Story of David Oluwale

<p><em>Oluwale Now</em> explores the contemporary issues that David Oluwale’s story touches upon through over 40 selections of poetry and prose (including prize-winning submissions from Hannah Stone; Gill Tennant, Gayathiri Kamalakanthan) as well as over 20 featured artworks and photography. Central to this book are the themes of memory, belonging, otherness and optimism. Building upon <em>Remembering Oluwale: An Anthology</em> (edited by SJ Bradley, Valley Press, 2016), this anthology moves through historical and contemporary pain towards hope; there is an upward thrust through Oluwale Now which refuses to deny or sugar-coat the horrors of systematic racism and brutality but allows us a glimpse of a better future.</p><p>"A powerful, varied, lyrical tribute that mobilises our memory and engages the imagination" Gary Younge</p>
