Captured Voices by Janna Letts
Captured Voices is an anthology of poems and prose by people from this century who have had experience of torture, imprisonment and exile. Pieces range from well-known writers such as Brian Keenan, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Eric Lomax and Sheila Cassidy to unknown writers who are clients of the Foundation. Countries include Iran, China, Rwanda and Chile. The anthology is divided into six thematic sections - Loss, Identity, Impact, Bystanders, Survival and Exile - giving the reader a sense of the psychological and emotional journey travelled by many of those who have survived torture and who come to the Foundation for help.
