Thank you so much for those kind words, Tiffany. The Six Irish Poems come from a collection on which I am working – Meditations on Anam Cara by John O’Donohue. I have 80+ poems in place. It is a lovely project. When writers get lost for words, they worry. When painters get lost for words, they paint! All best wishes!
I have some Irish roots as well with a great great great great grandfather and grandmother who sailed from Wickliff, County Wickliff in the mid 1800’s. My sister found their signatures on the boat docket a few years ago. Michael and Elizabeth met in Baltimore where they came into the USA, married a few months later, and Michael served with the Union Army during the uncivil war. We are also one fourth English as well as one half German. I have been to the place in Bavaria where the family once lived. My dad was first generation American. But the one we celebrate the most is the Irish quarter.
Thanks so much, Angela. I was so pleased and happy to have been included. My family came originally from Cork. So I am proud of that Irish link, and the Welsh one, and it’s all Celtic!

Deep down, we are all of mixed races, in one way or another. Education changes us too. There are very few ‘pure breds’ out there, if truth be told.
