Responsibilities; and other poems

Exploring themes of creativity, societal expectations, and the passage of time, this collection of poems delves into the complexities of artistic expression. The poet reflects on the duality of public perception, where admiration can quickly turn to mockery. Through vivid imagery, such as the fallen sun and the vibrant Galway races, the work captures the tension between aspiration and reality. Personal musings on illness and existence further enrich the narrative, inviting readers to ponder the nature of greatness and the human experience.
