COMING SOON: Slingshot by Andrew Ogun (3 Oct 2024)

Lucent Dreaming will be publishing Slingshot this October 2024, the debut poetry collection from Andrew Ogun.

Andrew Ogun is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on poetry, music and creative direction. He is also the Agent for Change at the Arts Council of Wales, and the main organiser for Black Lives Matter Gwent.

His debut collection features poetry rooted in the tension between where we are and where we want to be. Andrew explains ‘I feel like society, both consciously and unconsciously, tries to reduce people into predetermined and defined categories. Slingshot has allowed me to break free from those boxes and return to base. Many people know me as a musician, some know me as an activist, others know me for my job, others know me on a more personal and intimate level but poetry is where I started. Slingshot has been a process of healing but also a process of unmasking and showing the world what really happens in my inner life.’

Slingshot can be preordered through your local bookshop, or online, via our website, Bookshop.org and Amazon.
