The Book of Homelessness is the first graphic novel created by homeless people

London charity Accumulate has released an "honest, painful and revelatory" booktelling the stories of 18 different people and their experiences of homelessness.

Over 160 pages, The Book of Homelessness incorporates collages, illustrations, comics, poems and prose, all created as part of a three-month course organised by the charity.

Through workshops in everything from creative writing to drawing and sequencing, hosted at Shoreditch's Autograph Gallery, Accumulate aimed to allow people affected by homelessness to take control over telling their own stories, on their own terms.
