From Frank who ‘spits words straight from the seam’ to the schoolgirl who ‘has buried so much for so long’, these poems travel the road between the down-to-earth and outspoken to what’s more reflective, hidden or difficult to voice. In varied contexts, the collection offers examples of the ways in which we negotiate our inner truth through interaction with others and ourselves. Warning: contains humour, joy, frustration, sadness and other emotional stuff.
