I’m honored today to see The Galway Review publish another poem of mine — this time “Smiling Among Inert Shipwrecks.”
The Galway Review is the city’s leading literary magazine, and a wonderful cultural resource for Ireland and the world. As always, I am grateful to the journal’s editorial staff for allowing my work to appear in such a distinguished periodical.

I am currently enjoying The Galway Review’s annual anthology, The Galway Review 12 — which includes my poem, “The Beach House, Early Spring.” (The piece was published online by the magazine in October 2023.)
This really is one of the nicest honors I’ve received as a poet. The Galway Review is the city’s leading literary magazine, with more than a half a million readers worldwide, and I was included along with just seven other poets to see my work appear in this annual publication. I remain quite grateful to the magazine’s editors for selecting my poem.
If you’d like to peruse the anthology, you can read it online for free right here.
