"107 poets, writers and activists join forces in opposition to the Government and DWP's hostile environment against the unemployed, sick and disabled in 318pp of poetry, prose and polemic."
"A foreword to the book has been written by its patron, disabled activist John McArdle, co-founder of the grassroots group Black Triangle.
He says in the foreword that the book “illustrates the trials of claimants with stories of individuals who have been subjected to this cold-hearted barbarism in graphic and heart-rending detail” and will “enlighten all who read it as to the ongoing injustices being perpetrated upon ordinary people by other ordinary people working as bureaucrats in our country”.
Morrison has previously published two influential anti-austerity anthologies, Emergency Verse – Poets in Defence of the Welfare State, published in 2010, and The Robin Hood Book – Verse Versus Austerity, the following year."
