Synopsis

Patrick O’Neill’s verse with its wonderfully “everyman” characters brings so-called “common folks” to a literary immortality that demands his inclusion in the pantheon of old and new great poets. --Del Reitz, Ed/Pub Newsletter Inago O’Neill’s use of language, pacing, and punch lines are equally sharp in three-line or three-page poems. He sets up a scene, then moves in for the kill with unflinching precision. --Diane Montz, Arts & Entertainment Writer Ironwood Daily Globe In Patrick O'Neill's poetry, inner monologues and outer dialogues fold into episodes-vignettes of everyday living. He sprinkles his poems with gentle treatments of the wisdom of animals, the revelations of plants. His poetry is a veritable kaleidoscope of highly interesting slices of life. His empathic style touches the reader's heart-felt spirits while his offbeat wit and subtle irony produce provocative revelations. --Tom Bruneau, Professor Emeritus, Radford University

About the Author

Writer of countless published books, stories, and plays, Patrick O’Neill lives in Ironwood in Michigan’s Western Upper Peninsula, where he teaches college writing, does readings, and offers writing services. As he has for years—and vows to continue to do as long as his mind and body can keep pace with his galloping aspirations—he donates 100% of all money from book and ticket sales, and services to firmly establish and fund a creative program series for children, conducted by Lynne Wiercinski of the Ironwood Carnegie Library and Arlene Schneller of Schneller’s Art Gallery.
