Wasting Time With People? is an insightful and very honest selection of essays, poems, short stories and personal recollections, from a large cross-section of contemporary Ireland. Poets, playwrights, journalists and authors, as well as members of the judiciary, church, medical and political worlds, and people who are homeless: they are all here - helping to start a quiet revolution in Irish society that could change our quality of life for the better.

Royalties from this thought-provoking and inspiring anthology will go to TRUST, a charity which, since 1975, provides a health and social service for those who are homeless.
