“This is a book that bears witness to the intensity of experience shared by Romani communities worldwide—a glorious anthology which is both deep and mysterious, brimming with joy and sorrow as it celebrates a world and a way of life that has become marginalised—recapturing its passion and uniqueness. A book to treasure and to hold tight, mighty and kushti.”

Menna Elfyn-Welsh Poet, Bardd, Professor Emerita, UWTSD, President Wales PEN Cymru

 

“Romany and Traveller voices can often be overlooked. KIN is a long overdue collection of insightful and personal poetry that goes some way to collating the female experience of nomadic ethnicities both historically and in the present day.”- John-Henry Phillips, Author, filmmaker, and television presenter
