I don't know if this is out of order; an admin will tell me and take it down if so. In the week that the official Grenfell death Toll has been announced, Ben Okri, the Booker prize-winning author, has given permission for us to print his powerful poem Grenfell Tower, June 2017 in our anthology Alt-Write: creative reactions to uncertain times. We are trying to crowdfund this at igg.me/at/alt-write, with all profits going to UNHCR for their work with refugees.
Ben's poem includes the lines: "If you want to see how the poor die, come see Grenfell Tower," and it has moved us deeply. We really, really want to publish this book, so cheers if you feel you can support us.
