Real Wild Heaven. Hawarden Launch Party

About Real Wild Heaven.

At the beginning of this year, I didn’t know that I was going to write this book. I’d been messing around with an idea for a new book for a while, but I shelved that because I couldn’t get to grips with it. Then, in early January I was reading a book by the esteemed Danish poet and author Olga Ravn, and something clicked.

If you know me then you might be able to guess what happened next; I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours researching and writing, ploughing every hour of my down time into the book. (Thanks to Caroline for tolerating this, I know it’s annoying).

I worked hard, but it all just came pouring out. Looking back, I can’t quite believe that it did, but there you have it.

There are two editions; a hardback with eight pages of photos (colour and black and white), 22 illustrations and a map, and a paperback without the photos.

Here are photographs from our first of three launch parties. This one was held in The Walled Garden, Hawarden Estate.
