We celebrate the launch of Absence (Cheerio Publishing) with author Ali Lewis over from the UK, accompanied by guest poet Rodrigo García Marina.

Evento Bilingüe!

‘I love this. Ali Lewis’s poems have an unparaphrasable quality, as if they’re not read but inhaled, like a clear vapour which leaves you giddy, tranquil and troubled all at once. Read it, you’ll see what I mean.’ – Caroline Bird
