Archives: Broken Poems book and publishing project

 In 2018, we were happily traveling around Italy doing our diy Nights adventure and we got called from Sanremo to do one of our nights and presentations there at Forte Santa Tecla.
Has been a crazy weekend in a beautiful place born as a prison on the sea and now converted in a cultural meeting place...
