The poem 'Left in his flat' from the Austerity poetry project (https://thisisausterity.uk/2022/09/28/left-in-his-flat/).

The project chronicles the effects of the UK gov't's austerity programme through found poetry from media reports and public domain documents.

The poems have been released under a CC-BY-NC licence. They can be read at https://thisisausterity.uk/the-poems/

Sharing something I've been up to. For a while now I've been working on a series of poems on the subject of austerity.

These are all found poems - all are derived from media reports (sources are marked on the images). The idea is to show, directly, the suffering this policy causes.

I'm planning to publish these online sooon. Austerity 2.0 will be upon us soon. It's a travesty. Want to do my bit, however small, to counter it.
