The Art of Shapeshifting

The Art of Shapeshifting is a poetry collection exploring identity, memory, and transformation through the lens of travel. Moving from Dublin’s pubs to Bolivian salt flats, the poems blend personal and universal moments—childhood, grief, and spiritual seeking—showing how each journey reshapes the self. Through vivid narrative and lyrical reflection, the collection celebrates the freedom and vulnerability of travel, inviting readers to witness the ways in which both body and spirit are transformed by the road, the ritual, and the unknown.

Available June 6th
