About this ebook
Welcome to this, my second collection of poems. This set of poems may (or may not) be about marginal people and marginal societies. None of the people described in these poems are real – they've all emerged fully formed from my imagination. Feel free to draw whatever conclusions you like from this admission.
Rik Roots
Rik lives in London with his partner, Nigel, and their two cats. As can be seen, he does not photograph well.
