Between Ourselves by Michael Laskey

Between Ourselves is a brilliantly crafted collection of warm and eloquent poems that are at once a love letter to the future, and a contemplation of the past. The central section, ‘Selfies’ – an honest and discerning sequence of self-portraits reflecting on ‘what a long way we’ve come’ – sits alongside the title poem, an intimate conversation with a grandchild just learning to walk.
