This is my next collection, The Truth of You: Poetry About Love, Life, Joy and Sadness, which will be available in March 2021. It’s been a hard year and finishing this book while my mother was dying, in the middle of a pandemic and being unable to be with her made it even more painful and difficult. But I hope I have done what I’ve always tried to do, and made a way out with words. Drawing and writing this book was a small way out for me. I hope it can be one for you too. Thank you to my editor, Allison Adler at @andrewsmcmeel for her incredible attention to detail and care, my agents Erin Harris and Katherine Latshaw at Folio for their constant patience and hard work, and my wife and family for understanding, supporting and putting up with me scribbling all the time. Finally, thank -you- for reading and giving my words the best reason to exist. None of my books would exist without you. #books #illustration #poems #iainsthomas #iainthomas #poetry #thetruthofyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CG6ipoeBkBP/?igshid=gozludpjs3vl
