Tracy Connolly’s Biography

I would describe myself as a Poetess who wants to connect my soul with the world. I want to  help others through my poetry. I can write about anything and that’s what you will find in my book. From fiction to real life happenings my poetry becomes alive. I think of my audience and can always feel what they need and want in a poem.

I was a Soldier for 23 years and there are two war hero’s on either side of my family.  They have been decorated with distinguished service medals from the Congo. Most of my family were in the army. I’ve been in the war called Operation Grapes Of Wrath in 1996 and felt the pains of others. I’ve also been to war-torn Kosovo in 2001. I was proud to be a United Nations Peacekeeper because I love to help others. I’m now a retired Veteran helping in the hospitals as a Healthcare Assistant. Throughout covid I have spent time working with the emergency services within my community.

I started writing during lockdown and it has given me my poetic voice that was simmering beneath the surface from an earlier age. I would hope my poetry will always help and comfort others. My poetry is from real life happenings and also fiction. I’ve been published in many local newspapers. Recently I was published in one of the best tourism magazines called gowild which you will find me speaking about my hometown Cork.
