Description
Gerald Dawe's Looking Through You: Northern Chronicles is a personal and evocative memoir that explores the musical, literary and artistic influences that shaped his awakening as a poet. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Belfast in the 1960s, this book weaves together a narrative of growing up amidst the city's energetic cultural scene. Featuring stunning photography by Euan Gëbler, Looking Through You is a unique record of the music, poetry and culture that defined Dawe's formative years. With his characteristic wry style, he recounts the experiences that forged his career in Irish literature, from the impact of The Beatles' Rubber Soul to the influence of American poets Robert Lowell and Sylvia Plath. This memoir offers a fresh perspective on Belfast's rich cultural heritage and provides a compelling introduction to Dawe's world for new readers. As the author himself notes, it may also help 'renew Belfast and the ordinary life and lives of the city'.
