New poems published and more!

  • I am delighted that my poem “Cosmos” above appears in the newest issue of Tiferet Journal (I have permission to include it here but worth subscribing for the whole thing.)
  • My poem “St. Dearbhla’s Eyes” is out in the newest issue of Stinging Fly (a literary journal in Ireland)
  • My poem “St. Kevin Holds Open His Hand” will be in the next issue of Skylight 47 being launched next Thursday at Over the Edge here in Galway City!
  • My poem “God Among the Pots and Pans (after St. Teresa of Avila)” is in the newest issue of Presence: A Journal of Catholic Poetry
  • I also have an article on pilgrimage in the July issue of U.S Catholic magazine which offers 7 ideas for pilgrimages you can do from home.
  • And last but not least, I am excited for my 11th book to be published this fall by Ave Maria Press: The Soul’s Slow Ripening: 12 Celtic Practices for Seeking the Sacred (can be pre-ordered at Amazon and B&N)
