The poet, film-maker, photographer and former young people’s laureate for London talks about growing up on the North Peckham estate and his debut collection, Poor

In the eyes of its architects, as Femi writes in one poem, the estate was “A paradise of affordable bricks, tucked under / A blanket, shielded from the world”. Its 1,444 homes were packed into 65 multi-storey blocks on a site so big that residents could live their lives – shopping, playing or going to school – without ever having to cross a road. The outcome was violence, communal trauma and a disastrous “othering” that resounded through the news headlines.
