To mark the end of the 2023 GCSE season, we are sharing a poem from that book that reflects on the end of school, brought to life by young actor Freddie Pearson. THERE have been poetry collections and memoirs published, but none have been quite like the powerful debut book from Hussain Manawer.

His words will remind listeners that even in your lowest moments, you can find the gold dust; Life Is Sad and Beautiful will shift outlooks and stand as a powerful vehicle for growth and change. Hussain’s debut poetry collection invites reader on his journey through depression and grief and out the other side to a better place. The acclaimed poet has combined heartfelt poems from across his life with deeply personal recollections of someone who shaped him as an individual, his late mother, and this has resulted in perhaps the most unique book you will read this year.One of the last thoughts we're left with is something the poet's mother told him about how she'd like her family to approach her death, after her experience of losing her own father when she was young.

Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. Hussain Manawer is a globally acclaimed Poet, Mental Health Advocate and Producer - who was born in Newham and shortly after grew up in Ilford, Essex.

He most recently appeared alongside Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey in the mental health docu-series, ' The Me You Can't See ', alongside Lady Gaga, Glen Close and others. His words will remind readers, that even in your lowest moments you can find the gold dust, Life is Sad and Beautiful will shift outlooks and stand as a powerful vehicle for growth and change. I do feel remorseful giving this 2 stars, because the author so evidently poured himself into this book. His debut poetry collection is broken into 5 parts and will invite readers on his journey through depression, grief. Hussain's poetry can also be heard on the Archewell Audio Podcast Christmas Special with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
