Brian Callan, poet, lives on the edge of Cork city, with his wife Jan and her mother Maureen. He graduated from University College Dublin with a BSc and PhD in chemistry and is currently a vice president of Quality with GlaxoSmithKline. He has been a local preacher with the Methodist church for thirty years and apart from poetry, his other great passion is stamp collecting, where he exhibits on a regular basis across the world. The Next Footprint is the eleventh collection published by Brian since 1986 and is perhaps the most personal of his previous work, as it explores through poetry the ongoing internal dialogue with his Creator. The thought patterns continue to be born in and reflect the poet’s Christian faith, his stumbling in prayer and his fascination with the created world we live in. Jane Connaughton, photographer, grew up in 1970’s Clonakilty, Co. Cork, Ireland and now lives with her husband Eamonn, daughters and father in nearby Kinsale Co. Cork. Jane studied European Public Affairs and German, followed by Business & Tourism at University Limerick, subsequently working in the tourism sector, the oil and gas industry and in alternative energy. Throughout her life she has found a happy home worshipping with Methodist church communities. As well as gardening and flower arranging, Jane also enjoys the compositional aspect of photography and feels truly blessed in the beautiful stimulating surroundings of West Cork. For her, the continuously changing beauty of reflections on the ever present water are a daily reminder of a loving yet awesome God.
