Geraldine Moorkens Byrne is an award winning poet and writer from Dublin, Ireland.
Her work has been published in a variety of magazines, anthologies, Ezines, and print publications. Several of her poems have been performed as drama pieces in the Uk, Ireland and the USA. She is a founding editor of the PPP poetry collective and she has edited several poetry collections.
She has also written and published short stories, and several mystery novels including The Caroline Jordan Mystery Series and The Old Bat Chronicles (writing as Nina Hayes.) This is her first full collection of her own poetic work spanning forty years of writing and publishing.
As a poet she is inspired by the heritage and landscape of Ireland, the literary and poetic forms of Old Irish and the long political and satirical tradition of the FilÃ. This collection is divided into several parts, reflecting the wide interest of the poet. At the Gate (a reference to the ancient Irish tradition of fasting against an injustice) deals with the poetry of politics and justice. In the Grove contains the poetry of spirit and philosophy. By the Fireside showcases the poetry of love and personal life.
The final section Beside Manners contains a series of poems written to express the grief and concerns of family carers for those with Alzheimer's and Dementia.
