  • How to Write Poetry in How Many Chapters
    Maurice Whelan
    In the preface, Maurice Whelan writes, ’It is one thing to get started as a writer. It is another to sustain a creative writing life.

  • Thought
    Maurice Whelan
    ’It struck me at some point when reading Maurice Whelan’s Thought: The Invisible Essence that thinking, a bit like reading, writing and dreaming, is not framed often enough as conversation. As readers, when we’re lucky, we enter into dialogue with the writer, and when fruitful, the conversation continues long after the book is finished. This poetic and meditative book offers an...

  • Excalibur's Return
    Maurice Whelan
    “If stillness can be tasted, precious memories will return, such as poetry once learned by heart, which in Maurice Whelan’s case told of King Arthur receiving his sword Excalibur from the maiden in the lake. If silence can be heard, a poetry in life will breathe, as in this poet’s observation about a dawn which ‘…holds / its perfection/as long/as you hold your breath’. As contr...

  • A Season and a Time
    Maurice Whelan

Inspiration comes from a snowdrop, a telephone call, a broken musical instrument, a night spent in sub-zero temperatures in the Snowy Mountains. The subject matter ranges from activities that inspire, through the everyday, to beh...
