Surge by Jay Bernard
A searing poetry collection that excavates the legacy of the 1981 New Cross Fire and its aftermath, braiding archival fragments, testimony, and contemporary witness into a chorus of grief, rage, and resistance. Moving between past and present and guided by a queer, diasporic sensibility, the poems conjure the voices of the dead and the living to interrogate state violence, media erasure, and community solidarity. The result is an urgent act of remembrance that transforms history into a living, haunting call for justice.
