Efacis "Being able to interact with the author allows one the opportunity to discover part of the process behind his writing. Dermot Bolger is a clever and humorous writer who is conscious of how fast reality can be altered. To him, being an author does not have the aim of achieving fame, but finding a mechanism to answer questions regarding life."

"Dermot Bolger talked about his journey as a poet. He found out his passion in primary school, they were reading a poem in class and he felt the spark light up. He described it in a lovely way saying that the world seemed black and white but poetry made it turn to color. I think this was the best part of the meeting, getting to see and feel the love for what he does and see the human behind the incredible works he published. He shared with us his insecurities as much as he showed his talent. As expressed, it was an amazing experience to meet such a phenomenal writer."

"It was a special and inspiring event where I learnt a lot and made me think about how writers are often thought to be out of our reach as “normal” people but the truth is inspiration can be used by anyone anywhere they want. We just have to stay focused and find a way to express those thoughts, emotions and objectives."

"Having Dermot Bolger talking to us with such a familiarity has been a magnificent experience. Not only for the fact that we had the chance to meet a writer as special as him, but because I’ve learnt in the most sensitive and virtuous way with him about the things that professors teach us as theory."
