From Aberdeen to the Isle of Wight, Out of Bounds is a newly charted map
of Britain as viewed by its black and Asian poets. It takes the reader
on a riveting, sensory journey through Scotland, England and Wales,
showing the whole country from a fresh perspective. This extensive and
ground-breaking anthology - with its sudden forks in the road, and its
roads not taken - stops off in the Highlands and Islands, skirts the
North East coast from Whitley Bay to the sands of Bridlington, wanders
lonely through the Lake District and Yorkshire, climbs the mountains of
Wales before descending to the Black Country and Southern England.
Along the way it takes in lochs and landmarks from Glasgow's George
Square and the Angel of the North to the London Eye and the Long Man of
Wilmington. An alternative A to Z of the nation, a new poetic guide,
the book enables us to look again at the UK's local and regional
landscapes and the poets who pass through them. Out of Bounds is a
definitive anthology that brings together new and established black and
Asian writers and places them firmly on the map of what is great and not
so great about Britain.
