REVIVAL Press will begin 2025 with the release of ‘On Being Un/Able to Walk Through Walls’, the debut poetry collection by Limerick-based poet D’or Seifer. The launch will take place on Sunday, February 9 at 3pm at The People’s Museum of Limerick, Pery Square. The event will feature poets Lauren McNamara and Lauren O’Donovan, who will officially launch the collection.
‘On Being Un/Able to Walk Through Walls’ takes readers on a lyrical journey spanning three continents and generations. Divided into three sections, the collection reflects different phases of Seifer’s life, exploring the intricate dynamics of displacement and belonging.
As a third-generation emigrant, Seifer’s poetry delves into themes of cultural identity, historical legacy, and personal mythology. Her work examines the tension between distant ancestral roots and contemporary realities, offering a compelling perspective on heritage and home in today’s interconnected world.
Through evocative language and striking imagery, Seifer’s verses invite readers to reflect on the invisible barriers that shape human experience and the walls we strive to overcome.
The launch is open to the public, promising an inspiring afternoon of poetry and celebration.
