Full Description
The poems represented between these pages in this powerful book are
Urban shocking vignettes of street homelessness lived and experienced by
a man rightly titled The Homeless Poet.
The pieces reflect the serious danger of physical violence, destitution
and charity incorporated in the realm of homeless individuals surviving
the undiminishing scourge of homelessness prevalent in modern day
Britain. The poet relays in brutal honesty contemporary themes of social
injustice and family-related issues from the harsh perspective of the
street too, but cloaked in the beauty of compassion and love.
This is a must-read poetry book displaying acute insight into the
subject of living rough, and witnessing how life impacts the humanity of
men and women in the stranglehold of urban street homelessness while
endeavouring to retain their dignity and respect. The unpredictable
vagaries of street life shaping the short and concise poetical writing
here will ignite anger and disbelief in equal measure.
These worded paintings were conceived in a world unfamiliar to the
majority of ordinary people; a domain sometimes devoid of safety and
security.
This book shines bright in testimony that hope and purpose can be
maintained on the streets through strength of mind, unwavering
resilience and tenuous family connections. Read the contents of this
hard-fought creation, and see the tough reality our society pretends
does not exist for men and women deprived of a home.
