Helle is a book of poems written by my late mom, Helene Nixon. Most are about Ireland, and most of those are about The Troubles. But she also wrote about various places she visited or lived in - Saudi Arabia, Alaska, South Carolina, and though much of her work was very serious, she made room to be whimsical and humurous. 

2nd Edition will be out soon with more poems.

In November 1979, Roger was working oil rigs in Louisiana when he suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that left him brain damaged and memory impaired. As part of his rehabilitation, he took to writing poetry. Yet, he doesn't focus on his injury. Instead, he writes about the familiar world around him as he perceives it, whether it be Europe, the Middle East, or America.
