In The Seven Woods: Being Poems Chiefly of the Irish Heroic Age

The collection opens with a gentle wandering through the Seven Woods, where the hum of bees and the soft thunder of pigeons set a quiet, timeless stage. From there the poems shift to the storied halls of ancient Ireland, giving voice to figures like the aging Queen Maeve, whose restless nights echo with the weight of empire and myth. Each piece blends vivid natural imagery with the lingering presence of the Sidhe, creating a tapestry that feels both intimate and grand.

Readers will find a blend of lyrical nostalgia and sharp observation as the poet moves between heroic battles, whispered love, and the restless pull of destiny. The language feels rooted in Celtic tradition yet accessible, inviting listeners to imagine fire‑lit chambers, mist‑shrouded rivers, and the silent counsel of gods. This journey through Ireland’s heroic age offers a meditative glimpse into a world where history and legend intertwine.
