Marian O’Rourke is from Limerick. She has spent most of her life in North America. Her poems have been published in a variety of journals and anthologies, in Ireland, England, and Canada. She has broadcast her work on WBAI Radio, New York City, and Lyric FM Radio, Ireland, and has performed at poetry events in Ireland, England, Canada, and The United States. She has published two previous poetry books, Uprooted, published in 2008 by Horn Press and Inhaling The Light, published by Lapwing in 2009. She holds an M.A. in creative writing from Waterford Institute of Technology, Ireland.
Forty years ago, Marian met Adnan Sarhan, a Sufi Master from Baghdad and became his student, travelling with him throughout Europe, Canada, and The United States. Many of the poems in this collection reflect this period.
Marian’s poetry is generous, intense and beautifully realized. I love her insights and observations, a watcher in life she writes with clarity and passion. Marian has a particular lightness of touch that conceals a deep wisdom that comes from her individual experience of life.
