Former firefighter Selby debuts with a fierce examination of identity, climate change, and the shortcomings of U.S. fire policy. At 19, Selby turned to firefighting as an escape from their emotionally abusive upbringing, having already fled home several times and developed an alcohol habit as a teenager.

I’m often asked where to begin with poetry: how to discover new voices, how to interpret subtext, how to climb inside a poem’s skin so you can see how it breathes.

died so I looked onlineand couldn’t believe the pricefor a new noise, so I boughta second-hand noise, deliverableand like-new. The noise arrivedon my windowsillthe next day in a box wrappedwith too much tape. I toreeach layer of the sticky plasticlike unwrapping a bandage. The noise was delicateas a small glassof steam and ash. The thing I liked most aboutthe second-hand noisewas how much it deepenedthe sensation of walkingthrough the housewith a newfoundbreeze.

Benjamin Zephaniah has appeared at really pivotal points of my life, either in person or through his work. The first memory I have of him was in the early 1990s when my parents took me to an anti-apartheid demonstration in Parliament Square. Benjamin addressed the crowd through a red and white megaphone.
