Hi, I'm Lily.
‘The non poetry lovers’ poet’. I hail from North Yorkshire and live in the Northeast. I write poetry, kids' books, short stories, and non-fiction. In addition to my books, I have been published in anthologies and online. I love music and I'm never far from being behind a camera. I am currently studying for a degree with the Open University. My vices are chocolate and Twitter/X. https://twitter.com/lifelovelily22 I'm probably the most random person you will ever meet. Find me on Substack https://lilylawson.substack.com or my website https://www.lilyswritinglife.com/ |

Rainbow's Red Poetry Book
|
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.’
