Inside this book are tales of women who eat themselves, mothers who collect clouds in small bottles, children who live beneath beds, poets who stand on top of tower blocks and girls who find wings and fly accross a landscape of abandoned council estates, the ghosts of gangs spraying graffiti poetry. It is a book about beauty in ugly places.
