À propos de cet audio
Welcome to Ben Westwood's collection of 60 true-story poems, Poems from a Runaway. It’s his story of being a teenager in care, and a frequent runaway from the West Midlands (UK).
Follow him on a journey from 10 years old, wandering from town to town before eventually at the age of 12, finding himself in the East End of London with drug addicts and prostitutes. A year later, he was to be sleeping rough in London’s West End, meeting celebrities and all sorts of folk. It’s a story with many tragedies, but also comedic moments. This collection tell of choices that would have only been made with a youngster's thinking, and of stories about angels along the way.
"Predators, friends, heartwarming times and dangerous moments. Hustles, wind-ups, and the way young people entertain themselves along the way. Some moments in life that some may never had knew existed."
A collection of 60 poems of various lengths lead the listener through the reality of this true-story childhood journey. Not only a great collection of stories and an eye-opener for general book and poetry lovers, but also a great resource for foster parents, social workers, mental health support services, homeless services, child advocates and care givers.
