Karen Downs-Barton: What it Means to Belong

Has anywhere sounded more ominous than the 'Home for Crying Children'? Join Karen Downs-Barton, whose playful new poetry collection Minx effortlessly blends forms in a lyrically vivid evocation of a childhood distinctly less ordinary. From a multi-racial Romani background, Downs-Barton explores growing up on the edges of society, and asks where one can really belong if caught between cultures whose traditions don't match.
