Holidays

As an Irish poet who has been living and writing in Madrid for the last four decades, I felt dutybound to compile a book of poems that would reflect my relationship with the diversity of Spain, its landscape and its people. The result of this endeavour is Spanish Points, a collection of my Spain-related poems chosen by me from nine books published between 1990 and 2020, together with a selection of recent unpublished poems.

A different flavor of summer holidays is gaining popularity as the choice for an increasing number of animal lovers – and people with a wish to meet different folks and cultures – who want to make great memories, and make a difference: saving hundreds of lives every year, finding the perfect pet for any family anywhere in the world, and offering food, medicine, shelter and love for animals in one of Europe’s most beautiful islands and holiday destinations: the Greek island of Crete.
