Year of the Ox
'Andrew Brooks's Year of the Ox is a constellation of images that chart the movement of history, not with the logic of linear progress but the dialectic of historical materialism. The poem takes what has been and flashes it together with the now, with blackberries, garden spiders, broccoli pasta and much else.
'Through this constellation we see, in silhouette, the historical shape of capitalism and its necessary mutation, imperialism. In a time of "No/politics but the politics of real/estate", the two long poems in this book offer us something rare: political poetry that moves, and demands movement.' Andre Dao

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
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.
