Olive O'Connor (Milltown / Ireland) What a wonderful gift and a genius mind to have the ability to express your thoughts in poetic lines. Your love for Ireland with its 40 shades of green and rich historic past is evident in every poem. Eileen Kennedy (Killarney / Ireland) You are blessed with descriptive powers. I can clearly see the picture you paint with words. Deirdre Coveney (Teacher and writer from Tralee / Ireland) I think your poetry makes the reader compelled to concentrate and really listen - It is very fresh. Like you were there! Wilma Silvius (The Netherlands) Brilliant description; I feel like I stand there taking it all in. You must have loved that place to paint it so clearly. Barbara Derbyshire (Poet and writer from UK, living in Ireland) So gorgeous. I was there with you. Kim Pinto (Writer from North Kerry) Wow...this is just sublime...I was there, through your words. Marian Relihan (Writer from Listowel / Ireland) Love it. One of your best, if I may say so. Sheila Fitzpatrick O'Donnell (Poet and storyteller from Limerick / Ireland) Your best ever.
