Purple Mother by Pauline Omoboye

Purple Mother is a portrayal of Manchester from black mother’s perspective. It is Pauline Omoboye’s debut collection.

‘It definitely is reality
And a shocking state of our times
That the increase in gang culture
And the rise of gun related crime
Sends goose bumps around my body
And a searing pain into my head
When I wake up in the morning
And hear another child is dead’
