Book of the Month – poetry that speaks truth with power and grace.
We’re honoured to spotlight Wide Awake in Dreamland by #TUGrad Dominic Nelson-Ashley – a bold and brilliant collection that blends wry humour, emotional depth, and razor-sharp social commentary. Inspired by his lived experience as often the only Black man in the room, Dominic’s poetry explores identity, race, dating, religion, and resilience through vivid characters and fearless honesty. With both heart and bite, this collection is a masterclass in navigating the world with courage and creative flair. 📚 Find it on the Alumni Bookshelf (3rd floor) at Middlesbrough Library 🛒 Or purchase your copy via
