Poetry. Bill O'Connell's poems are illuminations born under a rising moon or in the growing brightness of morning. These poems are fierce, quiet, and always tender celebrations in the living of our lives. O'Connell believes in the purity of joy in these cynical times, and is unafraid to seek the ineffable in our collective sorrow. He is a writer whose heart is haunted by the world. Because of this, he must sing.
