This is cutting edge poetry that fuses and crosses genres, creating new conventions of expression.

Four of the most viscerally moving poets working in the UK today share a stage for the first time to share work that expresses the eternal human battle for 'home' as experienced through place, memory, living spaces, in our bodies, and in the built and natural environment.

Watch Hibaq Osman perform 'How to Wash Away False Kisses'

Watch Caleb Femi's performance of 'Wishbone'

Watch Vahni Capildeo read 'Inishbofin: I, II, III, and IV'

Watch Yomi Sode's 'Distant Daily Ijó / YNWA'
