About the Book

Beslan-Not Forgotten is an extended poem chronicling and analysing the sad story of the sacrificing of hundreds of children in a junior school in Beslan, Northern Ossetia for a cause identified in the course of the poem. It includes historical analysis. Commemorates the brave citizens of Beslan and lends its support to their suffering. The title includes the words ‘not forgotten’ as there is a danger that these kind of atrocities can be so easily airbrushed out of history.
