About the Author
"..born on the edge of the New World," grown up " .. on the edge of the old." William Brendan McPhillips discovered poetry "..on a ship going the wrong way in a world collapsing in war." He was changed utterly. Born in the Bronx, April 4th, 1937, he discovered in the mystical world of his ancestors in Ballaghaderreen, and the West of Ireland, that poetry was a language to bind the two worlds together, the seen and the unseen, the known and the, maybe, remembered. His poetry is a memorial art, the language of the soul in time and place. On A Magical Journey Home continues the movement from that long ago moment on the Atlantic ocean, across continents and cultures, time and place, and always arriving back into the eternal here and now. Following a "miraculous recovery" from near death, McPhillips continues his magical journey in his unique and magical verse.
