Is Hartcliffe El Dorado? Michael Roach

Michael Roach was born and brought up in South Bristol in the 1970s. He attended Harctliffe school and lived on the Knowle council estate. His poems are an expression of what it is to be a working class Bristolian in a city that can be unforgiving to its local population. The verses in this book are from personal experience where Michael has lived most of his work. Maybe your personal journey in South Bristol has been the same. If it has there will be a level of understanding from Michael's words to yourself.
