No Homeless Problem
£9.99
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.
Having experienced the absolute horror of alcoholism and the arduous task of getting sober he realised the power of writing as a tool for understanding and changing. In late 2015 he moved to London to find work and after several months he found himself homeless. Séamus has been completely sober for more than 7 years and he has noticed a massive change in how he sees the world as a result of sobriety. Eventually he found Emmaus and he now works and lives at the Cambridge Community. He undertook the writing of this book to give something back to the Emmaus family that he feels such a part of, but also to raise awareness about the serious social issues surrounding homelessness and addiction.
