© The Author 2015. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Faculty of Public Health. All rights reserved. This paper presents and analyses the poem 'Tea and Bread'. It is about content and process, about a struggle for survival as an asylum seeker in a UK city and about exploring poetic transcription, as pioneered by sociologist Laurel Richardson, as representational practice in public health. The asylum seeker, known by the pseudonym of Peter, was interviewed as part of a project to compare the destitution of the past with that of today.
