A series of poems inspired by Manx nature has been published by the Isle of Man Arts Council.
'Nature Is Real and So Am I' by Owen Atkinson tells the story of their relationship with the seasons of the Island's landscape.
Featuring illustrations by Little Moot Studio, copies of the book can be purchased online, or from The Bridge Bookshop in Port Erin and Ramsey, or Mother T's in Laxey.
Owen spoke to 3FM about the inspiration behind the poems:
