My Father's Work Shed: Painting and Poems

This is a collection of poems and paintings written and painted over the course of eleven years. The book deals with loss, and the poems and paintings contribute a diffuse sense of the memories, places, and nostalgias that accompany it. The connection to Ireland and the author’s childhood there is heightened by geographic distance and the recent passing of his parents. The paintings explore the legacy of modernist abstraction as much as they deal with personal content.
