In 2015, Germany opened its doors to almost 1 million asylum seekers, most escaping war and persecution in various parts of the Middle East, Central Africa and Afghanistan, as well as economic migrants from the West Balkans and Eastern European countries. Federal Gods by Clare Saponia is a work of poetry, and the sequel to The Oranges of Revolution, exploring the inevitable knock-on effect of civil wars, western intervention and imperialism on civilians, who risked their lives to reach safety in Europe, only to encounter new conflicts on arrival.

Federal Gods launched in May 2022. You can order a copy from this page for £9.99 plus postage.
