Louise C. Callaghan Libros

This is a story of human decency in the midst of barbarism - how the zookeeper of Mosul Zoo saved the animals during the Isis rule of the city between 2014 and 2017.

This is a book rich in the detail we've come to expect from this very fine poet, from the Luas epiphany of 'Winter Solstice' to the telling, heart-felt memories of 'The Diplomat's Daughter.'

Exploring themes of love, loneliness, and loss, this poetry collection features poignant reflections on adult children leaving home and the experiences of a granddaughter. The verses resonate with both passion and sorrow, confronting loneliness with quiet bravery and fierce honesty. Alongside the heart-wrenching moments, the collection also celebrates simple pleasures and the joy found in the changing seasons, creating a rich tapestry of emotions.

A new collection from Irish poet, Louise C. Callaghan. Some of her previous collections are In the Ninth House, The Puzzle-Heart, and Remember The Birds. She compiled and edited Forgotten Light: An Anthology of Memory Poems. Her poetry is widely anthologized in Ireland and England.
