Out-Spoken Press The Neighbourhood

What is a neighbour? What makes a community? In this themed collection, Hannah Lowe focuses on the urban places she knows and loves, and finds a rich complexity of neighbourliness under the extreme pressure.These poems look urgently into the future, into communities bearing the weight of austerity and gentrification, where global struggles manifest in the local.Nowhere is more at stake than the circle of home the author draws around her infant son, who must learn the fragile meanings of the neighbourhood.
