Synopsis

'All around you see us.
Broken, breaking, mending,
Don't pretend you can't hear us too.'
This anthology is testimony, resistance, a nationwide act of creative truth-telling. This is More Than One Story.
For over thirty years, Cardboard Citizens has harnessed the power of theatre and storytelling to change the narrative of homelessness and poverty for individuals and society. More Than One Story is the company's first-ever anthology: a groundbreaking collection of new writing by thirty-seven emerging and established writers from across the UK with lived experience of homelessness, poverty and inequity.
From sofa-surfing and street-sleeping to the rental industry, citizenship, identity and mental health, these monologues shift between imagined futures and urgent realities, encompassing resilience, hope, rage and humour, to offer a multifaceted portrait of homelessness and poverty in the UK today. 
Featuring original pieces from Sonali Bhattacharyya, Malorie Blackman, Chris Bush, Kayleigh Llewellyn, Michelle De Swarte, Inua Ellams, Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini, Debbie Hannan, Charlie Josephine, Errol McGlashan, Neetu Singh, Chris Sonnex, Joelle Taylor, Naomi Westerman, Roy Williams, alongside twenty-two new works from a national open call – and a foreword by BAFTA Award-winning actor Michael Sheen.
'This book is unlike anything else – it brings together voices and experiences of homelessness and poverty that are too often ignored, but that carry incredible power, honesty, and humanity' Rory Kinnear

    Museums have different exhibits displaying different eras, regions, etc., and so does this book. My goal is to highlight three sections in romantic relationships, as per how I see them. Every good story has a rise, climax, and fall, this is shown through the book's three sections. Many believe relationships to be a mirror, as do I. Our partners act as a reflection of how we show up in the world. They show us the things we need to work on. Whether and how long those relationships last, is a topic for another conversation. The three exhibits (sections) the book is divided into are as follows: Exhibit A: Falling (The infatuation stages of early love) Exhibit B: Being broken (Relationships acting as our mirrors, showing us our faults) Exhibit C: Ending (When the relationship can no longer work and it comes to its conclusion) I hope you enjoy your tour through the Museum of My Soul, enjoy your stay, and hopefully, you'll come again.

    This debut collection of poems, composed with no thought to commercial publication and discovered by Green Writers Press by happenstance, addresses events in the poet' s life that every reader can relate to — friendships, the beginning, middle, and end of romantic relationships, and the death of a loved one. And they do so with " stiletto-sharp" metaphors — " rosebuds stillborn in the falling snow" — and wry observations — " Trying Again: Like an old shoe comfortable for a while but still causing blisters" — that evoke from the reader a knowing nod and sometimes an outright laugh. Short, disarming, crafted with carefully calibrated rhythms and innovative rhymes, these poems " skulk in the grass" and, while your guard is down, " barge right in" to your consciousness, uninvited guests.

    In this heartfelt poetry collection, I weave together the beauty of love and life through tender, soul-stirring verses. Each poem, written with deep emotion and care, reflects the essence of love-filled poetry, capturing moments of joy, connection, and introspection. These poems, close to my heart, speak of the universal experiences of love, loss, and healing, inviting you to find solace and connection in their shared themes. Writing has been a part of my life since a young age, and now I'm thrilled to share my poetry and stories with the world. This collection reflects my journey, a testament to the power of words to heal and inspire. Through these poems, I aim to offer readers the beauty and a path to align their bodies, minds, and souls. Writing is both an art and a form of therapy—a way to release the mind's blockages and find peace. I hope these poems become a gift to yourself and your loved ones and a bridge that connects us through shared experiences. These are beautiful love and life poems. These poems describe प्यार भरी कविताएँ (Pyaar Bhari Kavitayen). These poems are close to my heart because they are about life and love. I have written them beautifully and hope they will touch your heart. I feel I will connect with all of you with these poems. Enjoy these poems and gift loved ones.

    Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in Campden Hill, Kensington on May 29th 1874. 
    Originally after attending St Pauls School he went to Slade to learn the art of illustration.  In 1896 he joined a small London publisher and began his journalistic career as a freelance art and literary critic before going on to writing weekly columns in the Daily News and the Illustrated London News. 
    In 1901 he married Frances Blogg, to whom he remained married for the rest of his life. 
    For many he is known as a very fine novelist and the creator of the Father Brown Detective stories which were much influenced by his own beliefs.  A large man – 6’ 4” and 21st in weight he was apt to be forgetful in that delightful way that the British sometimes are – a telegram home to his wife saying he was in one place but where should he actually be…….? 
    He was prolific in many other areas; he wrote plays, short stories, essays, loved to debate and wrote hundreds of poems.  It is on his poems that we concentrate this volume.  They range from the virtues and vices of England and the English to his world view and religious beliefs. 
    GK Chesterton died of congestive heart failure on 14th June, 1936 and is buried in Beaconsfield just outside of London. 
    This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
