A Poet, On Park Hill? Outside the Box. A strong contender in the canon of brutalist literature, this colour edition of the popular autobiographical book about the life and experiences of a real resident on the infamous flats includes a brand new section starting from after the original publication until leaving the estate. What's it like to be one of the people who live on those grim looking concrete creations from the mid 20th century? Ever wondered what sort of person may be up there, looking from their window wondering what sort of person you are? Well, this is a unique insight into the mind of a long term resident of the Sheffield Park Hill estate in the last stages of its original life before the grand regeneration. Stories, facts and photographs alongside varied poetry inspired by Park Hill, this tells a story of one of the many who called these flats home, and proud to do so.
