Taken from the foreword by Greg Wilkinson:
“We’re after the facts of life and the hopes and fears it inspires. Memories and images of things that might be. Not just pretty pictures no propaganda for this cult or that cult. If at times we seem to paint it all a bit too black, this does not mean a lack of faith. (In the depths we may find common ground, we may have to hit rock bottom before we bounce.)”
A joiner’s son dares to put his energy into writing. Syd Jenkins reports back from the Unemployed Workers Movement Demonstration. Adult literacy students at Abraham Moss Centre in Crumpsall share their stories, poems and memories. Greg Wilkinson interviews members of the Mental Patients Union talk about detention, hospital conditions and treatment. Coming Up! is the product of working people.
