At my wake,
the welcome mat at my front door will read:
No Sandwiches Allowed.

Cara Thompson’s debut pamphlet, Bring It To The Altar, reimagines the Jamaican-British dinner table as a sacred site of cultural, familial, and ancestral exchange. Inviting you to grab a plate and take a seat, Thompson’s poems orbit the recurring flavours and figures that have infused her life, carving out a new space to chew over themes of national identity, maternal loss and revival.

Mixing the mundane with the miraculous, Bring It To The Altar is an offering of love, guts, and endurance.

This very limited risograph edition was produced by The Carousel in Nottingham and supported by GOBS Collective and Bad Betty Press.
