Introduction to Voices in the Mist There are places where the past seems never quite to have left us. Old roads, familiar hills and quiet streams can carry reminders of those who walked before us, and of the lives, stories and traditions they left behind. Sometimes, as the light fades and mist settles across the … Continue reading Voices in the Mist
Introduction to In Plain Sight How often do we look beyond what we have, searching for something better, something brighter, or something we believe will make life more complete? We set ourselves goals, follow our ambitions, and spend years pursuing the things we hope will bring us happiness. Yet life has a way of offering … Continue reading In Plain Sight
A Memory from the Bóithrín Introduction Some memories remain with us long after the details surrounding them have faded. Faces become indistinct, names slip away, and yet the events themselves can remain as clear as the day they happened. This poem grew from a real childhood experience, on a cold evening when a group of … Continue reading A Memory from the Bóithrín
Pool in the Bóithrín Introduction Somewhere along the bóithrín, after the rain has fallen and the world has quieted, a small pool forms where the water gathers still and clear. If you pause there long enough and closely, something gentle happens — the reflection looking back isn't quite only yours anymore. It's the boy who … Continue reading Pool in the Bóithrín
Introduction: There are roads that wind through places we know, and roads that lead beyond what we see. This is one such road — a quiet boreen where the light changes slowly, where the past walks gentle beside us, and where the distance between what is here and what is beyond feels very small indeed. … Continue reading Bóithrín na nDaoine Eile

Introduction For Bóithrín Turn There is a quiet, unspoken wisdom in the land itself — and nowhere more so than along an old bóithrín. That narrow, winding country lane that has seen every season come and go. It does not need to tell you the world is turning; it knows before you do. This poem … Continue reading Bóithrín Turn
Introduction To What They Left Behind Some poems begin with an image, others with a question. Some grow out of memory, and others rise from the land itself—from those quiet places where nothing is lost, only intentionally left behind. This Poem began with a challenge: to find one small, ordinary thing on an old boreen … Continue reading What They Left Behind
Introduction to An Bóithrín An Bóithrín began as a quiet challenge: to find poetry in one small, overlooked thing lying half hidden on an old path — something worn, ordinary, full of unwritten stories. What grew from that is not rhymed or formal — it chose free verse because this kind of landscape does not … Continue reading An Bóithrín
Introduction to The House That Remembers Some places do not forget. They hold the light of hands that tended flowers, the warmth of fires that burned long into winter evenings, the quiet stories of those who once called them home – even when the doors stand open, and the people have long since gone. This … Continue reading The House That Remembers
