Born in Leeds in 1947 Hawkins visited Crete for the first time in 1989. His visit left his imspired to write this book, which was completed in just three weeks. He says: "...The inspiration of the poem came from the ability to feel the tragic sufferings, the poem makes me want to cry because inwardly that is how I feel. If having read my poem you feel the same, then you have given a tear not for the reading but for all those people who suffered on the island."
