Outside Looking In

by Bernard Young

Bernard Young has been writing poems and 'songs' since his early teens. He is a poet and performer who works in schools. He has also published several books of poems for children. This book, however, is aimed at a more grown up audience. For over two years, pretty much every day, Bernard Young has taken a digital photograph and written a poem about it. Sometimes the poem comes first and he finds an image to fit it, but mostly the image comes first and that inspires the words. "Outside Looking In" has 61 pages of beautiful images and words about life, relationships, growing old, dreams, loss and love.

68 pages, Paperback

[Kren Lefley-stevens · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you like owning books to read and then re-read then this is a great book to dip in and out of

it has thought provoking photos

it has thought provoking poems

it has the two together...

I was familiar with the Young Poet's work before the book was published and therefore was a joy to rediscover some favourites along with some surprises

I gave it 5* because it is a book worth owning rather than just borrowing!!
