.looking In looking out- is an international anthology of seventy-seven poems and four short stories from writers across the globe. Their unique voices seek to explore and explain our multi-cultured, multi-viewed, and multi-lived lives through a myriad of perspectives and philosophies, in many varied forms, evoking emotion, providing entertainment, and hopefully, opening the readers' eyes and minds. The book is curated into eight chapters with the universal themes of nature, love, community, and personal experience to the fore. There is also space for the slightly off-the-wall, the spiritual, and the reflective. All this wrapped up in unique human voices, distinctive imagery, and a quality of writing skill worthy of sharing with as wide an audience as possible. Willowdown Books has published over 370 writers in the last fourteen years, and always seeks bring forth new writers, as well as support those who have honed their skills over the years, creating anthologies which evolve organically and holistically, and speak to the nature of the human condition. "Writing is often introspective, often political, and powerful writing is often challenging, exciting, and educational.In this anthology we seek to explore how one life can reflect society, and how society impacts one life. Personal and social perspectives combine; the to and fro of lived experience is our subject, the micro and macro, our form, verse and short stories our canvas. Although it could be argued that the subject of the human condition is what poetry and prose explore anyway, it can also be observed that a deeply introspective, personal poem may be an expression of universality, of the emotions we all feel, while a raw political short story may expand on the living of one's own life as a political act. " Trevor Maynard October 2023 From the Foreword"Trevor Maynard, it seems to me, has never been afraid to set himself challenges: and editing Willowdown's latest anthology of poetry and prose works from an international galaxy of writers, was clearly no less ambitious an undertaking.Words have the power to enhance, to inspire, to terrify, to offend, and these emotions are present in full measure throughout this book. The vitality of the submissions is revealed in all its beauty, horror, disgust and hope, to produce an organic unity and a meaningful shape. It is an honour to have been involved."

My first ever poetry I get to share with the world. "Lost thoughts in the midnight sea" is a poetry book based on what I have learned throughout my life; heart breaks, seeking for my inner soul, happiness, and most of all love. It's a reminder for myself that life is beautiful in so many ways. The way we choose our own paths we want to follow to seek for the things we desire and need. "Lost thoughts in the midnight sea" talks about how even though we prefer to not remember our most horrible memories, they are still a life lesson which makes us who we are: strong, loving, and independent souls. I hope you enjoy reading my poetry as much as I enjoy writing it.

El destino es caprichoso y no avisa. ¿Quién me iba a decir a mí que, tras cuarenta años dedicado a la música, iba a perder la audición? Dicen que los artistas necesitan expresar sus emociones a través del Arte. Y cuando no es así, es cuando aparece la depresión, la ansiedad y un sinfín de enfermedades mentales. Desde que me di cuenta de que mi hipoacusia iba a perjudicar seriamente mi faceta como músico, tuve que plantearme un nuevo enfoque. ¿Y qué mejor que la literatura? Este pequeño ensayo, formado por cincuenta poesías, ha sido mi vía de escape durante el tiempo que he estado intentando asimilar mi nueva situación. Aunque algunas de las composiciones son de extrema crudeza, he de decir que mi estado de ánimo actual ya no es el mismo.

SinopsisCuando la primavera se va nos queda en la mente, esa resignación que disfrazamos de esperanza, para obligarnos a creer que volverá el próximo año; pero mejor o peor, lo innegable es que nunca será igual. Aunque sea en el mismo tallo las flores ya no son las mismas, ni lo son los amores que regresan. Es solo la miel empalagosa de una realidad que ya no existe. Allí donde hubo flores, nos quedará como único botín a duras penas, la certeza de que estuvieron.
