I am a gay woman who lives in manchester. Two years ago I worked as a social worker, dealing with abused children and prisoners with drug problems. I became ill and could no longer work so I decided to write true poetry about all the lovely people. I have composed my poems from their real life stories. I have not had any published yet and hope these first ones grab the interest or a Uk publisher. I have received positive acclaim from American editors but I have yet to meet a publisher who understands the true message of my work.

You told me not to take drugs dad
...
