The Ways of the Firefly (translated into German as ‘Die Wege des Glühwürmchens’) is a bilingual compilation of poems and illustrations by Elizabeth Torres, published by Moloko Plus in 2020. The poems were written after a traumatic event in 2016 and form, according to the author, “a story of chaos and intimacy, loss and survival, and the golden threads that bring us together … it is a story that needed to let go of me and be healed and hopefully heal in others, or at least soothe with poetry the current open wound”.
The book comes with the audio CD Transgressions for the public Service by Madam Neverstop.
