This bilingual text is a small, bound book with a golden yellow cover which is inset with a work of art. The book contains a publisher’s note, a translator’s note, poetry, and then concludes with a few paragraphs about each of the fifteen contributors as well as the not-for-profit organisation, Commonword. The poems describe the difficulties faced by the writers in their home countries, as both refugees and as immigrants.

This book cover is lavender with a graphic text title, and the back cover contains a black and white photograph of the author. This collection of poems won the Crocus North West Poetry Pamphlet Competition, 2007. The poems contain themes of marriage, illness, love, and loss.
