A memorable celebration was held on St. Patrick’s Day to mark the launch of the powerful new book See Me: Street Poetry from the St. Vincent de Paul Society, with the author Jordan Grantham in attendance.
Jordan, a communications and public relations professional and dedicated member of the St Vincent de Paul Society in Australia, offered a compelling and heartfelt reflection on the Society’s mission to serve those experiencing homelessness and hardship. He provided valuable insights into how “Vinnies” operates both locally and globally, highlighting the depth and dignity of its outreach, as well as practical and accessible ways for individuals to become involved in meaningful service.
Drawing from his own experience, Jordan also explored the profound intersection of faith, creativity, and charity. He shared how simple yet powerful Catholic practices can be lived out through acts of service, artistic expression, and community engagement—bringing the Gospel to life in tangible ways.
Central to the evening was Jordan’s journey working alongside a diverse group of creative writers, many of whom have lived through significant hardship. Their voices, captured authentically and without filter, form the heart of this remarkable collection. Through poetry, they offer raw, honest, and deeply human reflections on struggle, resilience, and hope.
See Me is a moving and beautifully curated anthology—one that not only gives voice to the often unheard, but also invites readers to encounter the dignity of every person. It is a work that inspires, challenges, and ultimately touches the hearts of all who engage with it.
