About this product

Product Information

In 2007 Sophie Lancaster, a 20-year-old 'goth', was attacked and killed in a Lancashire park by a gang of feral youths. Poet Simon Armitage wrote the long prose-poem 'Black Roses' about the incident. Five years after the attack, the piece is reproduced in this book.

Beautifully compelling
I managed to purchase this as a used book, excellent value for a worthy cause and reminder of our frailty and strength, overcoming hate simply because of our differences. I continue to buy a Sophie tote bag whenever my previous one starts to break with constant daily use over the years and proudly promote tolerance in every aspect of my life as an alternative lifestyle woman who believes we should be allowed to live freely and as we wish

Powerfully written. Absorbing and very moving.
A terrible murder of a talented kind young woman. Sophie Lancaster is given a voice after her death by Simon Armitage. Wonderfully written, a powerful piece. Profound and moving. A very upsetting, but necessary book.
