Embers, Volume 1.

A quietly intimate collection, this volume gathers the poet’s earliest verses—memories and impressions that linger like fading embers. The introduction reveals a reluctance to share these personal pieces, yet the poems themselves shine with a youthful honesty that invites listeners into moments of love, loss, and quiet wonder. Each piece feels like a whispered confession, a snapshot of a time when feelings were raw and unfiltered.

Spanning themes from the lyrical charm of an Irish girl named Rosleen to the solemn reverence of a wedding ceremony, the verses move fluidly between tender romance, wistful longing, and the stark beauty of the countryside. Many of the poems have inspired well‑known composers, turning words into song and adding an extra layer of resonance. Listeners will find a blend of heartfelt narrative and musical rhythm, making the collection a soothing companion for anyone drawn to poetry that sings of memory and the simple, enduring pulse of everyday life.
