For anyone who has worked down a pit, or who has shared the bond of being part of a mining family, the poetically written words and pitmatic drawings of THE HEARTS LIVE ON will take you on a journey of pitwork.
With each poem following on from the next in a story-like fashion, you will feel what it was like to get up for the dreaded four in the morning shift, then wait in the bitterly cold snow for the pit bus. Once there, the steely cage will drop you and your fellow miners into the earth's bowel where the work and its dangers begin. And then there's the strike...
In THE HEARTS LIVE ON, there is passion
there is pain
there is conflict
there is sadness.
Enjoy the journey.
