Eire, and other poems

This collection gathers lyrical pieces and sonnets that shift between meditations on homeland and exile, mythic faery visions, and intimate reflections on love and time. Several poems take an Irish voice that answers longing with counsel toward steady labour and enduring affection, while other lyrics summon legendary landscapes and the promise of ageless life. Sonnets probe desire, memory, and the tension between daily duty and ecstatic release, often invoking classical and pastoral motifs. Across varying forms the verse uses nature, music, and ritual imagery to examine loss, consolation, and the persistence of longing.
