An eighteen-year-old boy from Dunmow is publishing his debut collection of poems.

Alexander Campbell-Brown will release his collection Poetry from the Heart on July 21.

The blurb for the book states: "Have you ever had an experience that you couldn’t just quite describe: to be so full of emotion that you couldn’t verbalise exactly how you’re feeling?

"Flip through these pages and discover the words that you were missing."
