“She who wants pearls, has to dive into the sea.”

Drawing on art, flora and both Kurdish and Celtic lore, flesh into blossom is an elegant, sensuous delight. Leila Lois’ poems washed over me, shimmering with light and lush depth.’ — Shu-Ling Chua, author of Echoes

Flesh into Blossom is a beautiful exploration of self-identity, heritage and nature. Leila Lois’ intimate collection of poetry linguistically submerges the Kurdish and Celtic languages together in a personal, hybrid space that sumptuously leaves us all longing at heart to further explore and connect with the tales and lore of our ancestors through a diasporic lens. — Raz Xaidan/ The Darling Beast

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
