We visit Katowice, Poland twice a year. For the last seven years. My partner Ewa is from Katowice.
During Christmas 2016, after 4 months of living in Madrid, our new home base after many years in London, Ewa and I visited Poland for Christmas. But this time we decided to go a little earlier and stay in Krakow. One of our favourite spots was Alchemia club in Kazimierz/Krakow.
It is very magical. Lots of fog/smog outside. And inside, of course, the historical green fairy. Highly recommended.
These poems/stories are from my book The Green Monk, forthcoming from Boiler House Press on November 5th 2018.
