Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Key Stage: KS3 Subject area: Health and Wellbeing, Key themes: Refugee experience, real lives, poetry The core of the collection was written in 2018 as part of a project with the charity Refugee Trauma Initiative. With the permission of both individual refugees and aid workers, RTI shared with Nicola a number of true and poignant stories which were then used as the basis for shortform poems. Over the following years Nicola has added to this core of poems to create a coherent collection on the theme of forced migration, its wider causes and consequences.
