What is inspirational poetry? It can mean different things to different people but to me it's poetry that explores life's deeper dimensions, acknowledges that we embody a creative spirit, encourages us to be express it, spurs us to expand, assures us we are pure, perfect and whole every bit as much as we are messy, imperfect and fragmented.
My poems come out of my life as an Irish woman and refer back to the tradition of Irish and women's poetry, sometimes in subtle ways. If you like Maya Angelou or Mary Oliver, Rumi or David Whyte, you may like my work. My poetry masters are WB Yeats and Eavan Boland.
