About Third Space →
Welcome to Third Space, which was set up to celebrate, showcase and support South Asian poetry, to inspire new writers and build poets’ connections.
British South Asian poetry is flourishing throughout the UK, but it is still not being amply reflected in mainstream publishing, on poetry courses or through poetry societies. Third Space has been set up by poet and artist Suman Gujral with an eye on filling this gap.
With various projects culminating with an anthology and events during South Asian Heritage Month 2024, Third Space aims to provide a platform for the showcasing and promotion of South Asian poetry, in order to inspire new poets as well as bringing together more established poets.
In collaboration with the award-winning independent publisher Renard Press, an open call for submissions went out in April 2024, working towards the publication of a volume of South Asian poetry in July 2024. See our events page for information on planned online prompt workshops, offering poets support and inspiration.
You can find out more about the project and how it came about here.

British South Asian poetry is flourishing throughout the UK, but it is still not being amply reflected in mainstream publishing. The Third Space project was conceived by award winning artist and poet, Suman Gujral, and has its eye on filling this gap and celebrating the best of the South Asian poetry scene.
With funding from the Arts Council supporting various projects and events during the summer of 2024, Third Space culminates in this anthology of fifty South Asian poets, and is a celebration of talent, a communion of imaginations from all over the world and an inspiration for would-be writers with their writing career ahead of them.
