to read them once again

Rainbow's Red Poetry Book

Picture
Poetry

‘Do yourself a favour: buy this, curl up in your favourite chair and read it, knowing you will come away refreshed.’

Life is a complex thing. As social beings, we live side by side, sometimes in not so harmonious circumstances. This book celebrates love and tackling the challenges we face as humans. Control is not always ours.

Keep learning.
Keep growing.
Be yourself.
Do your best.
Life is complicated, yet very simple.

’These poems are layered and more formal -- with an air of William Blake or even Christina Rosetti -- but without pretension or anachronism. They still have the Lawson touch.’
​

‘Lily Lawson has this way of making me weep.
And dance.
And understand myself a little better.
And understand others, perhaps, a little better too.’

Rainbow's Orange Book of Poetry

Picture
Poetry

Orange means passion, and for Lily Lawson, that's writing. In this second relatable, contemporary collection of the Rainbow series, the ‘non poetry-lovers poet’ shares that passion in the way only she can.

'... to the artist, the poet, the dreamer,
the weaver of words,
I give thanks.'
