[Suzanne Turner · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fabulous collection of poems, prose and photographs on mining and COAL. It brought to life the realities faced working in the pits, the struggles of the strikes and the reality of the closure of the last deep mine in England.
Keith Pattisons final sentence “If you fight you don’t always win, but if you don’t fight you will always lose” [Robert Crow (13 June 1961 – 11 March 2014) was an English trade union leader who served as the General Secretary of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) from 2002 until his death in 2014. He was also a member of the General Council of the Trades Union Congress (TUC)].

I suspect I will revisit this time and again.

A moving work bringing poetry, prose and photography together to share the stories of coal mining its hardships and struggles to life in a poignant way…
