Launching my book in one of the greatest literary cities in the world was pretty special. My friends at Hen’s Teeth Studio have been movers and shakers in Dublin for years now and it is always a pleasure to collaborate with them, so it was a no-brainer to celebrate the launch of SOUVENIRS together with a beautiful exhibition in their new gallery space.

As part of the weekend of events, I also gave a talk about the entire process of making this small press publication: from having the first kernel of inspiration, through the intense process of crowdfunding, to the joy of holding the finished artefact. I finished with a reading of one of the poems from the book, Fiesta, inspired by the island of Mallorca and the festivities of San Bartolomé.
