The Papyrus Dream launched!
Amsterdam, September 24 2011
The launch of Patrick Healy's poetry volume The Papyrus Dream was
a roaring success. The book was presented to an audience of hundreds gathered for the opening night of the exhibition "Remain in Light" in a steaming Amsterdam venue packed from wall to wall.
Synonym would like to thank all those who helped make this wonderful evening possible, in particular Hilarius Hofstede, Robin van Erven Dorens and Daniel Caffrey.

English critic Adrian Dannatt (here seen on the back), while a queue
of poetry afficionados builds up behind him. (Photo: © NL)
