    About this ebook

    “Lighthouse In The Town & Other Poems” is a body of work, chiefly about discovery; not only in regards to new surroundings, but also discovering oneself and the journey that is life. Told from the point of view of a British 20-something year old, it follows the transition from humble beginnings in an English town, to the life changing events that spurred a journey half way across the world and the experiences entailed.

      Introduction

      "Lighthouse In The Town & Other Poems" is the poetic culmination of a particularly rollercoaster time in my life. My first release, Northern Morning, feels a lot further away than 4 years ago; an awful lot has changed in that time. I’ve fallen in and out of love, enjoyed some of the best years of my life, along with it some of the darkest and most painful times, and I travelled extensively before settling myself into a new country halfway across the world.
