Book Cover & Preview Text
Sorry I Don’t Have the Time ’is a poetry collection for
a modern and socially aware reader. Micheline covers
everything from the last General Election in Britain in
Inviting the Thieves Back In to more efficient ways of
fruit peeling in The Other End of the Banana. She is not
scared to make you angry, though she is happy to make
you laugh.
Through the difficulties of growing up ‘different’ in the 1950s Micheline has found a way to use her insightful words as weapons against injustice, prejudice and social exclusion.
Despite potential emotional reactions to her work,
Micheline mostly strives to make you think – think about
your life, the world around you, and the challenges
facing every corner of the planet. If you gain only one
insight from Sorry I Don’t Have the Time may it be this:
that you open your eyes, see the collective troubles
surrounding you and find ways to fight back.
