Poetry from Bratislava
Small books, honest words
for whatever season you're in
Katerina Szép writes poetry drawn from a full, well-travelled life - first just for herself, now shared in small, hand-typed collections. Her debut, Bandaid for the Broken Heart, found readers across Europe and the US; I Still Believe, Hope and Love followed soon after.

Katerina Szép has lived a full, well-travelled life across Slovakia, Hungary and beyond, and has been writing poetry quietly for years - just for herself. She's also long organised care packages for new mothers, a hobby built on the same eye for small, thoughtful details that shows up in her books. That's My Cup of Coffee is where she finally shares it: her poetry, a deep love of specialty coffee, and the guides and walking tours she's putting together from years of café-hopping in Bratislava, Budapest and Vienna.
