This week In The Book Bag we wander around the pages in Welcome To The Museum of A Life by Sue Finch.
It's definitely one of the best museums I've visited.
Plus the usual recap, lots of news, and the playlist that nobody asked for but everyone wanted.
Take 5 & lets peruse the great exhibits.

The Book Bag: Welcome To A Museum of A Life by Sue Finch
Welcome back to The Book Bag. I hope you’ve had a poetic week. This week has been a busy one especially at work with the release of exam results. At home I’ve submitted a couple of pieces (got an acceptance which set me up for a great day on Thursday), worked on my own writing, enjoyed the sunshine and took a trip to an excellent charity bookshop. In the kitchen I made a chocolate and raspberry mousse which was delightfully light. Also, I brunched at Etto Gosforth (Sourdough French Toast with Maple and Bacon for me with a Latte) and welcomed back the Premier League Season and Fantasy Football.

I read a new poem to my poetry-hating son yesterday.
A new piece, and his response was, 'wow.'
I think that was the best poetry compliment I've ever received 💗

There is a lot of energy in these poems. The poet is at his most powerful when he's using his gift of observation & letting the poetry rise from that. However, the Scots dialect is a challenge & does tend to obscure the meaning. Still, it's an interesting collection. #poetry #poetryreview
