Poems outside the fold (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922722133)

A short collection of poems with heavy under-tones on end of life. This collection deals with loss and grief with an emphasis on immature death. It draws from life experience providing a podium to express loss from the darkest of places. It is influenced by several Irish poets and musicians whose melancholic premises are intrinsic to the spoken arts in Ireland. There is a dark brooding atmosphere to the work, used in a cathartic way. It provides an opportunity to celebrate, to rejoice, to mourn, to suffer, using the instrument of words. The collection is cleansing.
