The Africa Migration Report Poetry Anthology Series is inviting poems and short prose focusing on the escalating tragedy of refugee deaths in the English Channel (La Manche).
We are looking for original works that can serve as essential witness, critiquing the systemic factors – political, economic, and historical – that lead to how human beings fleeing persecution are perishing in the cold waters of the Strait of Dover.
We are looking for poems that remember the dead and which confront the policies, ideologies and beliefs that make these deaths permissible and the people unmournable.

Poems: 40 lines or less; Short Fiction/Prose: 100 words or less.
Submission Limit: A maximum of three pieces in total.
Format: Submissions must be included in the body of an email or as a single .doc attachment; include a short biography (50 words or less).
Send to: forcedmigrationandthearts@gmail.com
Deadline: Friday, 31 October 2025.
