Description

Book Synopsis
The poems and images are all original and from open competitions begun in 2018. They address the thoughts, feelings and beliefs of the authors as they express themselves concerning their emotions and experiences. Over a million children and family members are affected by imprisonment in the UK alone and the poems seek to emphasise the sense of loss, deprivation and isolation involved. They also show resilience—and how enforced separation impacts each and every day of the writer’s life. Backed by prison and prisoner interest groups and children’s organizations. Contains wholly original material and insights. Linked to public events and initiatives. To be used in education and training.

Table of Contents
Extract from Mark's `And I Need My Dad' You are not here Like my friend's dad To build rocket-ships And kick a football... You are not here Because you are there: Inside doing time, And I need my dad.
