POETRY FROM THE FUTURE: ANTHOLOGY #1 is the debut publication from the poetry night that's been holding space for new voices since 2022, on the streets of Valletta. Curated by Sam Alekksandra and designed by Julien Vinet, this limited edition art book brought together 34 poets who have graced the PFTF stage (stairs) over the years. Following an open call to everyone who has read at the events, this anthology captures the energy, intimacy and rawness of the PFTF community in print. It's a document of where we've been and a taste of where poetry is heading.
