Howard Young
Howard Young is a poet and artist from East Sussex, who lives in a small house near the sea with his wife, children and too many typewriters. He loves walking, art, poetry, films, music, novels, the sea, Ancient Greece, existentialism, our old apple tree, the countryside and cricket. His newest poetry collection ‘To Know the Way Back’ is the latest addition to our book family.
The possessive magic of grief always has a danger of consuming us when it fully embraces us, but when we fully embrace it like Howard Young does in To Know the Way Back, we can see grief’s power of recollection and transformation. Young’s exploration and characterization of modern England as a grief text is intriguing.
