Description

March 1984 marks the beginning of one of Britain's longest industrial disputes, the miners' strike. This powerful collection of poems brings to life the turmoil and spirit of a community on the brink of change.

Through striking images and poignant verse, STRIKE explores the complexities of the strike, from the North East to Wivenhoe Docks, and the people who were affected by it. The book delves into the politics of the time, including the Ridley Plan and the media's role in shaping public opinion.

Yet amidst the struggle, there are moments of humanity: a game of football between police and strikers, a concert to support the miners, and acts of kindness that transcend the conflict. This is a book that captures the ache of loss, but also the resilience and hope of those who fought for their rights.
