Beyoncé’s representatives initially contacted the press after reading Penned in the Margins Director Tom Chivers’s analysis of ‘Bey the Light’ in UK news website .uk, in which he described the poem as ‘riddled with cliché and empty sentimentalism ‘.Ĭhivers, who founded the company ten years ago, said, “I was moving boxes of unsold poetry collections around the office when I got the call. It’s a huge coup for a small, independent British publisher to be working with the much-loved singer, songwriter and actress. Titled simply Poems, the collection will include both original, never-before-published poetry and song lyrics from Beyoncé’s back catalogue such as ‘Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)’.
It’s been hard to keep this news to ourselves, but today we can finally announce that, yes, we have signed a contract with Beyoncé Knowles to publish her first book of poems.
