Sobre IBD

BIRD’S EYE VIEW is an engaging debut collection of poems and quirky light verse. Endorsed by New Writing North as one of its recommended books for Autumn 2021, it takes you on a hop-on/hop-off tour of UK and European locations with a diversity of topics from hedgehogs to hang-gliding, strawberry picking to snorkelling, mountains to Mersey Ferries.
