About the Book

"Poems For All Occasions" is a collection of poetry from the pen of Mairead Tuohy Duffy. In it, she captures all the old traditional practices in her native Kerry, intermingled with her good humoured experiences as a teacher for 36 years, in Wicklow, Offaly and Dublin suburbs. Her great respect is evident, for all the young men and women, who had to leave Ireland through out the years. Many of her poems are spiritual, especially her great love for her Guardian Angel. From the drowning butterfly to the Kingdom Bog, from shearing of sheep to the thatcher, Mairead sees beauty in everything. Her poems will bring a smile to the reader's face and a warm tear to his/her eyes and hopefully her spiritual poems will bring happiness to sad and lonely souls, who feel left out and forgotten in a changed world.

About the Author :
Mairead Tuohy Duffy is a Kenmare woman, whose first love is her native Kerry and now her adopted city, Dublin. She took early retirement from teaching, as Principal, in Sth. Dublin, to give all her time to writing. In 1992, her book, From the Roughty to the Liffey was published ,describing her life as a student in Colaiste Aide, Dingle and in Carysfort T.C., Blackrock and her life as a teacher in Wicklow, Offaly, Dublin. In 1996, she published a romantic story, fiction, entitled Dublin Janine the story of a young Dublin girl, growing up in the sixties. In 1997, her book of poetry, entitled Poetical Memoirs of a Kerry woman was published and in 2000, her favourite book, Angels over Ireland, which led to her being asked to run a retreat in Derry. To date, her poems, and stories and articles, both in Irish and English have been published in various papers and magazines and booklets. Three of her Irish poems were published in Bi ag caint by the late Maire Ni Cheilleachair, in 1993 for the Junior Cert Irish Exam. She describes poetry,as medicine and spiritual healing at all times and hopes it will console and help all who read it. She dedicates this book of poetry to her late husband, Paddy.
