The collected Ireland poems by one of the most celebrated Irish-American lyric poets. Organized according to six geographical areas, each section introduced by a color photo. "There's a clean, lively language at work here, full of fine words clearly relished, while those poems lodged in Irish landscapes, both physical and literary, shine with the virtue of authenticity: they see, feel and communicate what's actually there, what's been experienced with sharp eye, responsive ear, imaginative understanding. Powered by such energies, Staying Blue stays satisfyingly alive from start to finish." - Eamon Grennan

Intimacy is a state of closeness that transcends explanation. It is a feeling of being at home emotionally and physically, a biological need so severe that when we don't have intimacy with those who are most significant in our lives, the effects can be devastating. When we do find intimacy, it can be transcendent. This collection brings together poems that explore intimacy between lovers, friends, parents and children, people and their pets, humans and the environment, and more. Work by dozens of writers including Chana Bloch, Maxine Chernoff, Toi Derricote, John Balaban, Thylias Moss, Leanne O'Sullivan, Richard Jackson, Kathryn Stripilng Byer, Jaki Shelton Green and over 70 more poets.

WINNER OF THE 2021 WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL HAIKU CONTEST FROM SABLE BOOKS.\n"This manuscript has a global feel in spite of it being a personal experience. The poems are strong and forceful and at the same time gentle and honest. The interweaving of haiku and tanka effectively help in the arc of its narrative. Filled with a poignancy, the mood is one of resilience and bouncing back. One very important point to be noted is the healing that takes place as the pages unfold. In these times of trials and turmoil caused by Covid and war – the art of swinging back to sanity and normal life is deftly handled here. Definitely a winner!" -- Final Judge Kala Ramesh\nWritten by Julie Bloss Kelsey over a ten-year period, this book contains 65 short poems -- mainly haiku, senryu, kyoka, and tanka -- on the theme of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and recovery from childhood trauma. About the collection, she says, "I hope that this book will help those on similar journeys feel less alone."
