In 2008, the level of poets of colour published by major presses was less than 1%. By 2020, it was over 20%. The Complete Works – an initiative spearheaded by Bernardine Evaristo – played a significant role in this change by supporting 30 poets from 2008 to 2020. It has become the most successful collective ever formed in British poetry.
