In 2017 Steven teamed up with British photographer Alan Davidson to publish, 'Life in the past frame' a book comprising poems and photos to add the visual aspect to the words, the book was to raise money for the Nightingale Cancer ward in Derby, U.K and a book signing/promotion night was a huge fund raising success. With this new book, 'A weapon called the word', Steven has written eight books, and continues to write constantly drawing on observations in his life and those around him in society. He describes the concept of writing poetry as total freedom, a chance to step outside the box and write what he and others are thinking and discussing, that people can hopefully relate to.
