From childhood days around the kitchen table to the quiet of a house after loss, The Oak Tree gathers the moments that have shaped Martina Tierney's life.
In poems full of detail and affection, Martina remembers her parents, the work and rituals of family life, and the love she shared with her husband, James. She writes honestly about grief: the clothes still hanging in a wardrobe, the empty sofa, and the memories held in a home they built together.
Yet these poems are also alive with grandchildren, morning walks, painting and the small joys that return when we least expect them. Like the oak tree in her garden, bare each winter and growing again each spring, Martina finds her way through change while keeping those she loves close.
Arranged in three parts, Roots, Love, Loss and Legacy, and Finding Peace, this is a personal collection about memory, family and learning to live with both love and loss.
