The Khan Retribution
Kamila Khan is the only one in the family who can take retribution for her parents.
Heath Gunn writes about the world that most people cross the street to avoid looking at. A child born into violence. A teenager sleeping rough on his sixteenth birthday. The families left behind by bombs, by drunk drivers, by the slow grind of poverty. The people whose stories never make the follow-up report.
Upon This Spinning Rock is a collection of twenty-five poems that map the same emotional and moral territory as Gunn's crime fiction — the streets of DI Lomas Baxter, the world of Khan — but strip everything back to the bone. Direct, plainspoken, and unflinching, these poems ask the questions that polite society prefers not to answer.
Written over a decade of watching, listening, and refusing to look away, they are the work of a writer who has always understood that the distance between a statistic and a human being is the only distance that matters.
Places That Inspired Prisoner takes you behind the scenes of the locations, landscapes and real-life details that shaped the story.
