Portrait of the Artist with a Young Dog
By Stephen Chappell
ISBN 9781916919204

Portrait of the Artist with a Young Dog contains mainly comic and whimsical poems including several inspired by Stephen’s bonkers young pup Molly. Other animals feature, including cats, a supposed goat, dead badgers, vampires, investment bankers, seagulls, pigeons and the odd human.
 
It is a printed and eBook companion to Stephen’s YouTube channel PoeticOutbursts and his Instagram site leonardodabasildon where you can find a selection of these poems, illustrated and read by the author.
 
This is the first of a series of linked pamphlets under the overall title I Just Thought You Ought To Know in which the author shares what he’d like you to know about life, death, the universe and everything, gently going round the bend, hopefully with a few laughs, a bit of tenderness and some gentle insights along the way.
