On March 29th, surrounded by all sorts of beautiful art (in an absolutely funky space - an optician's shop on Kildare Street), I launched Keeping Bees.   Published by Doire Press, the collection was introduced by Patrick Chapman - he called it many things; among them, muscular (and I liked that very much).  It was for me, one of the  nights of my life.  There was wine, and there were books - and people came and took their fill of both.  I had friends travel from Canada and Switzerland - and with the music of the lovely Ria Czerniak (she's responsible for my cover), we had a very nice time indeed.   All of the photos of the night are care of Aidan Murphy.  All of the smiles - the wine.   Launching books is a good buzz.

To buy a copy of Keeping Bees, head on over to Doire Press.

Keeping Bees...a book full of poems about bodies, where bodies sound like beehives.

I was just driving home there now and listening to RTE Raidió 1. I heard you reading your poem. I'm not really into poetry at all! but when I came home I immediatly went to Doire press and bought a copy.

Thanks

Hi Eoin - I'm super chuffed that my poems compelled you to buy a copy after listening to them on the radio. I really hope you enjoy Keeping Bees, and thank you again for your lovely comment. Best, Dimitra
