I, for one, can’t wait. When the time longs into my soul and the creak in my knees cause gentle steps, I’ll grow long my eyebrows. I’ll let them loose on my face as I chase away the last days of my living.…

After watching the video of Genetic ghosts, I kept recalling one of my poems, written in preparation for our first performance tour in Ireland back in 2005. I set to understanding the feelings I awakened during my visit the first year in the only way I knew best, rhythm and rhyme.…

I thought it was worth noting that today, June 13th, is the anniversary of the birth of Irish poet, W.B. Yeats. William Butler Yeats was born on June 13, 1865 in Sandymount, County Dublin. He would go on to be among the most influential writers in the 20th century -- not just in Ireland, but throughout the world. He was a driving force behind the Irish…

An excerpt from John Walsh's short story, This Could Be Heaven
It all starts in Monroe’s. This time of year they keep a fire burning, and I am freezing; the winds that get twisted around the corners of Dominick Street are fierce. She is standing right where I would like to be, holding her hands…

My qualifications for reviewing modern Irish literature are limited to:
- I live in Ireland, and,
- I like books
With that disclaimer...

SPRING
NOTHING is so beautiful as spring --
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush

The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.
