Poets’ words grace Uniqlo t-shirt collection

Poets Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye’s works are to appear on a special Uniqlo t-shirt collection.

The Japanese fast-fashion brand has released a range called “Poetry Beyond the Page”, which highlights the works of the two poets, including lines from their most-liked poems, including Kaye’s “Beginning, Middle & End,” and Kay’s “Useless Bay” along with their collaborative work “When Love Arrives.”

“One of my favorite things in the world is to keep track of the way poetry and poets find their way to surprising places,” wrote Kay on her Facebook page.

“I’m excited to see the surprising places these poems wind up!” she said.

The collection has been released in Uniqlo stores in Japan, New York, Chicago and across Europe. Kay says they’ll soon be in-store in the Philippines as well.
