A collection of original poetry created by Well Versed, All Change’s company of older people in Islington, north London, working with poet Francesca Beard.

Some poets were born almost a century before its publication (in 2023), others during or in the years directly after the Second World War. Some have lived their whole lives in north London. Others have come from across the globe and made a home here. Some are no longer with us. Each has lived a unique and remarkable life. All have gathered a wealth of experience and wisdom to share.
