‘Govanhill Mythology’ by Shane Johnstone #NewRelease by Arkbound Foundation Govanhill Mythology is a poetry collection on change, transmission, community, appearance, language and sound. It peers through the kaleidoscope of Govanhill, Scotland’s most diverse area, through its many years and eyes. It draws on literary traditions from Ireland and the Western Isles to Paris as tools to understand an area where the streets are principally named after royalty and poverty grinds at its residents’ bones every day. https://lnkd.in/eUKNrCDu

Our social and environmental development goals printed out in such great, artistic images on banknotes and banking providers displaying them on their websites would really put "our money where our mouth and heart is"
