    About this ebook

    Karl Knights’ Kin meet inside hospitals and grow up in waiting rooms and hospital cafeterias where ‘nobody stares’. These are poems of survival in the face of disability and years of austerity; they are memorials to those who did not make it, powerful and sharply observed.
