    About this ebook

    This collection of poetry is evocative of growing up in Wales in the eighties and nineties. In ten short poems, Helen Treharne shines a spotlight on the decline of traditional industries and changes to our communities, as well as drugs, homelessness and youth unemployment. There's also much humour, with poems like Clubland and Back in the Saddle. A proud Welsh-woman, the author depicts a harsh but fond picture of her hometown, Newport (home of Goldie Lookin Chain), all in ten poems

      The party was a failure. I can’t even tell you what a failure it was. There are no words. Only a great pain in my chest when I wake up. On the veranda. It’s better when I sit in the chair. Oh, but then I can see around. The gauzy curtains, pushed by

      War is coming but my neighbors can’t believe it. I ring their doorbells and tell them: maybe not this May, but next June at the latest. They stare straight past me, at the maze of lawns, the sprinklers, a kid on a bike hurling the Globe onto porches.
