I recently read Anne Carson’s Plainwater and loved it. There’s an extended section that discusses hiking the Camino de Santiago, so I decided to film a little reading from my book, the pleasure of regret and a reflection on my experience doing that same long walk.
the pleasure of regret is published by Broken Sleep Books.
