Welcome to my Poetry pages.  As you can see, these pages are arranged in titled collections--the titles I have given my (thus far) self-published books plus a new collection of prose.  I write in two distinctly different voices--Celtic and Contemporary.  Funnily enough, my Celtic work nearly always rhymes and my Contemporary style nearly always doesn't.  

I hope you enjoy my work.  May some of my words speak to you while they speak for me.  Slainte mhath!
