This collection of poems is an portrait of Stan Preston’s Manchester. Slum houses, slum clearance. Cutting machines, working girls on factory lines, the challenges within your own community of being a working class writer. In All Innocence was published posthumously by Commonword as part of its aim to bring working class writing to a working class readership.
