Looking In from Outside: Poetry & Prose - Paperback

by Donna Marie Lawrence (Author)

Through what lens should we view life? The one that seldom looks back-except to find joy.

Looking In from Outside is Donna Lawrence's debut collection of poems and prose. This book offers honest and authentic reflection written for those who have loved and lost or shown courage when faced with life's challenges, however large or small they might be.

It is a collective mix of poetry and prose on several themes, highlighting family, love, social pressures, work ethics, loss, trauma, political perspectives, and spiritual reflection. These themes are woven together to chronicle one woman's journey from a young age to adulthood, accepting her strength and purpose through courage and perseverance amid tragedy and self-discovery.

It is an empowering book written to inspire hope, prompt introspection, and the idea of a promising tomorrow.
