Timelines

by Carolyn O'Connell

Timelines is the long-awaited first full collection from Carolyn O'Connell. Carolyn writes accessible poetry on a variety of themes and the collection will have broad appeal to all poetry lovers.
Her work is inspired by her Irish heritage, current events and membership of poetry organisations. She is a member of The Poetry Society and listed on Poetrypf.co.uk and her work has been translated into Romanian.
Beautiful tender poems, rich in many ways: in O'Connell’s unique linguistic turns, where ‘hymns’ can be ‘conducted / by spiraling arcs of Spitfires’; in detailed imagery and its expression, whether the serenity of a single flower petal or the incessant shifting in a cityscape; in its unflinching observation of the ties that bind. Change whistles through these flawlessly-musical lines, wherein ‘ emotions / are gathered with the fruit to savour / through the cold’... Timelines has a vital energy that I know will draw me back to it.Anne Stewart Editor poetrypf
A wonderful collection of interesting and thoughtful poems. While away a few hours and enjoy Carolyn's tender and rich verse, A perfect addition to any book case
