In Creageivity 36 we meet AMANDA BOOTH, Voice Actor, Actor, Translator, and Children’s Author, who also performs a one-woman show Countless Lives about the fascinating Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.
Amanda has lived and worked in Portugal for over forty years, with her first children’s book being published in March 2026, in three languages. The Donkey Who Wanted to Know Things is beautifully illustrated by the Portuguese artist Artur Varela.
In the podcast Amanda reads a sample of her work Imprints, based on the technique of Method Writing. It’s a very real and personal piece, a snapshot of her life at the rural ruin she has restored over many years.
She finishes the podcast with a poem by one of Pessoa’s most notable ‘heteronyms’, Ricardo Reis.
You can also hear how Amanda and Adrienne first met… in Bed.
