Description
Refugees is a powerful word.
One that conjures opposing emotions. For some, it provokes feelings of fear and hate, for others, the need for compassion, understanding, and empathy.
In this celebrated poem, Refugees, Brian Bilston tells both sides of the story by cleverly crafting a verse that can be read backward and forward to convey two opposing views.
Brian Bilston is often described as the "Poet Laureate of Twitter" (now X), and this much-admired poem, perfectly accompanied by artwork from illustrator Jose Sanabria, is a wonderful way to explore this emotive issue as you realise that it's not just the words that have been reversed!

About the Author
Paul Millicheap (born 14 June 1970), who writes as Brian Bilston, is a British poet and author. Using the pseudonym Brian Bilston, he began publishing short and pithy, often humorous, poems on Twitter, which were then spread widely on social media. Bilston gained up to 400,000 followers, and has been described as "The Poet Laureate of Twitter". The poet Ian McMillan described him as "a laureate for our fractured times", and he has been compared to Don Marquis, Dorothy Parker, and Ogden Nash.
Jose Sanabria is a Colombian illustrator based in Argentina. He studied graphic design in Bogota and illustration in Buenos Aires. His works have been exhibited at the Biennale of Bratislava, at the Bologna Children's Book Fair, and in other collective exhibitions in Argentina, Italy, Germany, and Poland.
