homelessness
Moyra Peralta gets interviewed on the BBC. Only five minutes speaking about the growing crisis. She sensibly disputes London politicos who minimize the seriousness of the problem.
Her book, Nearly Invisible, is a sensitive, even intimate, look a people who are homeless. The focus of the book is on what each man and woman carries with them all the time - essential components of what they need and how each person sees him or herself, in spite of being without domicile.
She is not a voyeur. The people who agreed to be photographed, and have their possessions etched into the reader's memory - are her friends.You can find her book on sale through
Amazon.com.
