One such chap is Matt Haysom. He writes poetry that encompasses many things, including the experience of sleeping rough, and now we’ve put together a website to showcase his stuff. It would be great if you could check it out and leave a comment. He’s new to blogging, so some friendly feedback would be ideal.

He’s a good, growing poet, but don’t just take my word for it. No less a personage than the Archbishop of Canterbury has lauded his poetry.

I’d recommend checking out his ‘West End Dreams’ (these aren’t the usual west end dreams) in the written form and this video, which was produced by students at the University of Kent.
