I’m a recent graduate from West Virginia Wesleyan College and while I have not had any poetry published, I have written various articles for The Odyssey Online (at West Virginia Wesleyan). These poems were written during and after my study abroad trip to Ireland in 2018. The magic, myth, and history of Ireland is something I’ve grown up with and I believe that (along with many Irish poets) has influenced my writing both in content and in form.

“Horseman Passing By,” “Looking Upon a Photo of Con Colbert” and “On Irish Accents”

Picture me,
as I am,
propped
on these ancient stones
to watch the gloaming
come lazily in.
