Thanks for your comments, Dave. You've known Shaun a long time. I just came across this fine poet during lockdown and through Zoom.

Comment is about They Race Me In The Streets: Shaun Fallows, Lulu (article)

Shaun isn't writing to please people now and get approval, he's writing to make them feel damned uncomfortable. And he's succeeding. Always slightly diffident about his performances in his early days as a writer/performer, his confidence and craftsmanship have soared over the past couple of years. If you're able-bodied don't expect an easy ride. We 're all complicit in the apartheid that affects so many people with disabílities. Shaun is very clever at identifying the barriers, evident and hidden that hinder full participation in everyday life. He's kept his Wigan sense of humour but you can feel the frustration boiling over at times. I hope the changemakers, whoever they are these days, read this and take the trouble to listen to a man on the front line of disability discrimination. He tells it straight.
