Mary O’Connor knows that words are one way of capturing — and sharing — such ordinary subjects as the turn of the tide or the flight of the hummingbird, turning them into metaphors for the emotions and milestones of life. Writing, for Mary, is a visual art as you will see from this selection of her poetry. More of Mary’s work can be found in her book Dreams of a Wingless Child.
