Michael Rosen

When Michael was growing up, stories often hung in the air about his great-uncles: they were there before the war, his dad would say, but weren’t after. That never used to make any sense to him… How could people just disappear? Over the years he tried to find out exactly what happened. Michael’s book The Missing is the result: the true story of the missing Rosens.

The poems that appear in The Missing are part of a larger collection that Michael has written about migration called On the Move
