Book Review: Address Book by Simon Tingle

Address Book by Simon Tingle is a book of poetry about influential people in the author’s life. These include friends, family, mentors and role models.

The book is a quick read being only 39 pages long, but most readers will re-read each of the thirty poems a number of times to discover, or at least guess at, their deeper meanings.

Tingle was 16 years old when he released Address Book. But the book demonstrates his intelligence and that he is a young man that is much more emotionally mature than his years.

Each poem has beautiful prose. Each poem is deeply emotionally moving, wonderfully human and highly relatable to all.

Address Book is a work of art,
one that will touch your heart.
