Michael Walsh



Michael Walsh, the co-author of Neuron Mirror, died in early May, 2015. He was 65.

Virginia Walker has lost a wonderful friend, a brilliant poet, and a person with whom she enjoyed many wonderful conversations. Virginia will carry on the work that Michael Walsh and she began with the publication of Neuron Mirror. The book, celebrating and remembering the lives of five people who died of pancreatic cancer, will also become a testament of remembrance to Michael's poetic gifts. All proceeds from the sale of their poetry book will go to pancreatic cancer research.

A Memorial will take place on September 13. See the Events List for further details.



Here is a link to one of Michaels's last poems,

"Looking Glass"


from "Neuron Mirror".




 
 






Coming Soon:

Neuron Mirror
A book of poetry,
written with Michael Walsh.







        Selected Poems
        by Virginia Walker

  Advantage  
An egret on newly cut phragmites, . . .
Eating Lemon Bread   (for Sylvia)

A child alone in a foreign land . . .
Rings
. . . I would gaze at the light radiance on my finger . . .
A Man Who Writes

for Raul Rivero

Other Poems

The Sacrifice of the Lilies

I used to dream I was a deer, ...
     The Clock
When I was a child we had a clock,
not elaborate, with a maid and man,
vanishing and reappearing, on cue
. . .

Poems from

Neuron Mirror
by Virginia Walker
& Michael Walsh

Waiting for the Butterfly
I have a new digital camera
but no patience at being very still . . .
Her Herbarium
. . . Electronic pages, turning
at my finger glide, . . .
A Madonna for Our Time
. . . Rockets flare to ashes . . .
Reading the Silk Road
. . .
Mountains and deserts isolate communities,
peaceful cultures flourishing . . .
