The book contains poetry that is easy to read but which exposes lives that are difficult to come to terms with in our modern society. The author's working life is centred on supporting students who are in their final two years of school but for some reason or other they have encountered troubles, peer pressure, or complex parental relationships; to name but a few! The knock-on effect of his work is the ability to dissolve inner feelings of frustration & emotional tidal waves. To remove negative thoughts & regain self composure is a requirement for the following day's workload. Emotion clouds judgement and that is not acceptable when making decisions that can influence a young person's life. The author, Alan Armstrong, has dealt with knife crime, child prostitution, drug abuse and violence. He has chosen to alleviate some of the turbulence of his mind by writing verse that allows the recording of a day's experience. In that way, whilst it is preserved for posterity, his mind can release the stress by commitment to words! The hard print is simply how he relates and interprets a student telling their experiences in plain and simple speech.
