The Road More Travelled by Brian Bilston
An anthology of short stories exploring the refugee experience. A wonderfully varied collection of stories, touching, gripping and compelling with a sprinkling of humour.Refugees have existed as long as people have lived in settlements. The stories in this anthology examine aspects of the refugees' journey. The tales encompass the 1930s - the last time Europe dealt with refugees in any numbers - to the present refugee crisis. We meet people before they become refugees, see them on their journey and encounter them attempting to settle into new lives. We also see examples of how communities and people's attitudes can be affected by the arrival of refugees.Brian Bilston is clouded in the pipe smoke of mystery.
The author of Diary of a Somebody, he has been described as the Banksy of poetry and Twitter's unofficial Poet Laureate. With over 50,000 followers, numbering J. K. Rowling, Roger McGough and Frank Cottrell Boyce amongst many, many other luminaries, Brian has become truly beloved by the Twitter community. His first collection, You Took the Last Bus Home, was published by Unbound.
He won the Great British Write Off competition in 2015 - and was the Poet in Residence for the World Economic Forum in 2016. There have been features on him on BBC Radio 4's Today program, the BBC news website, the Irish Times, the Independent and the Smithsonian Magazine. Most of these features seem to have largely centrred around his pipe.
