A selection of her works, Punto di Rottura, is also available in Italian.[5] Her poems have been anthologized in numerous volumes, including "Roddy Lumsden's Identity Parade [6] and Forward's Poems of the Decade.[7] Read's first collection of poetry since her conversion, Dawn of this Hunger took first place for poetry at the Catholic Media Association Awards in 2022.
