Story Behind The Book
Inspired from years of living on the Island of Ireland I decided to try to put into words what it felt like, what you seen and who you where to live in Ireland and be Irish. I spent most of my life so far unaware that most people didnt see the world as i did, or should I say hear it is I heard it. You see, I have a rare condition know as Synesthesia which means that I see colours in sound. Some are more vivid than others, for example music and the sound of the wind or sea crashing on rocks. I also have been fortunate in being able to express what I see and hear in words, particuliarly poetry. This first publication for me was an attempt to open my world to others and to allow everyone to view a Synesthic world in someways like a virtual world within a computer when sounds and pulses are shown and displayed in graphic colours and bars. I have used this kind of format to express my view on life bringing together the history of Ireland from folklore to growing up in the troubles of Ulster right back to historical happenings. To this end the book is a medium for irish eyes, a sort of guide to Ireland seen by people of irish decent. I hope you enjoy reading For Irish Eyes as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Reviews
<div>You're probably thinking a book of poetry you? Yes. Yes me, I in fact love this book. Okay, i love everything Irish, but this caught my eye.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>This is a book filled with vivid imagery and a wonderful sense of imagination and play. What I enjoyed most about this is that it isn't as poetic as some of the peom books I normally read.
