I have traveled many places, but none have haunted me in quite the same way as Ireland. The connections between Irish and Black American history are fraught. I have barely begun to untangle the terrible ironies of colonialism, famine, emigration, classism, racism, and above all, enslavement, that tie my maternal family line to Ireland. For now, I offer these poems, written as if my spirit were once again in Bundoran, pacing in thoughtful contemplation along the cliff walk over the rolling Donegal Bay.
