Urban Voices is the latest collection of poetry by Steve Wheeler. The poems reflect the challenges and joys of living in a large inner city. Urban Voices is his third published volume, following on from the success of Ellipsis and Sacred. Steve's poems deal with some gritty, challenging and sometimes downright uncomfortable themes including poverty, the crisis of identity, homelessness, loneliness, depression, pollution, alcohol and drug abuse, injustice, crime, racism and corruption - and inevitably, there are one or two about that peculiar British obsession with bad weather, and a certain notorious tabloid newspaper also makes one or two appearances.Steve's darker verse is balanced by joyful, wry, ironic and sometimes hilarious observations on life in the city. The book features vignettes of several notorious characters from the past and memories of iconic places in Steve's home city of Plymouth, in the south west of England. With titles including 'There's a lot of arson about', 'Try not to stare' and 'Absolutely criminal', you know that readers are in for a treat.Now stand back. This book will self destruct in fifteen seconds.
