"The living", they say, "are dead people on holiday". Stephen Jackson's Dead People on Holiday is a ten-year testimony to one man's living death, concluding in acceptance and the chance of a kind of rebirth.

"Tight and life-affirming," this poetry has been called; with a richness comparable to John Donne's.The book is also profusely illustrated with the author's own digital imagery, acclaimed as "stunning" and "hauntingly beautiful".
