The Poetry of Daniel Sheehan

Poetry is a fascinating use of language. With almost a million words at their command, it is not surprising that English poets have produced some of the most beautiful, moving, and descriptive verse through the centuries. In this collection we look at Daniel Sheehan, a frequent contributor to anthologies and collections.

It is famously said that no man is an island—though many are still mysterious. Some seek limelight while others seek the shadows. In the case of Daniel Sheehan, either little is known of him or he wants little to be known; probably the latter. His work hints at a great love and a journey that is unknown—a journey both with someone and for someone.
