No Homeless Problem cover

The book has received extensive initial interest from a variety of groups, with a planned promotional strategy across the UK in partnership with charities Emmaus, Crisis and other organisations that support homeless people. It raises awareness whilst debunking myths - a 'must read' for the increasingly large number of people interested in this area.

A landmark book featuring poetry by people who have experienced homelessness, with forward by Terry Waite.Having experienced alcoholism and homelessness Séamus Fox came to understand the social and human injustices that result in so many people finding themselves living in the streets. This book is a collection of poems written from those stories, showing the reality of what it means to be homeless. They give an honest, disturbing and often enlightening view of homelessness, based on the experiences of 44 individuals.

'What makes this book so compelling is how the poems transport you into the world of their writers, a world which can be so different from our own but which, ironically, is the same. A real perspective-changer and should be read by anyone who hasn't faced first-hand what it is like to be homeless.' - Amanda Young 'Anyone who may have casually dismissed the homeless as being parasites should read what Seamus has written. It is insightful, moving and compelling. The writer has the gift of language and is able to put into verse the feelings and aspirations of many.' - Terry Waite
