Poet, writer & collector of notebooks
Welcome!
I write heartfelt poetry and have published three collections that have been shaped by my life, some quiet wisdom and the beauty of nature. I try to stay honest, tender and raw in my writing, inviting you to pause and reflect.
Whether you are seeking solace, growth, or a moment of beauty, I hope my poems linger in your heart long after the page.

Nestled in the scenic surroundings of Avoca, County Wicklow, Mairead Keenan invites readers into her world of heartfelt poetry, born from the unique experiences of the past four years.
It was during the early days of the pandemic that she discovered her passion for writing, sparking a journey of self-expression and artistic growth. Each poem reflects her deep emotional resonance with life, drawing inspiration from the beauty and challenges of everyday moments.
Mairead’s work is a testament to the power of poetry to connect us all, offering a glimpse into her heart as she navigates the intricate tapestry of existence. Join her as she shares this intimate collection, celebrating the profound insights and emotions that shape our shared human experience.
This is Mairéad Keenan’s third collection of poetry — a reflection of her growing confidence to explore her subconscious and bring forward poems that spark thought and connection in all of us.
Rooted in nature, colour and philosophical reflection, these poems were written without expectation, guided instead by instinct and curiosity.
In this collection, Mairéad pushes the boundaries of her art, allowing each piece to arrive as it is — honest, unfiltered and alive.
Why I Love Writing
I began writing by chance in 2020, during our first lockdown, when emotions were high and the world was shifting.
What I love about writing is the ability to put my emotions and feelings into words. For many years, I was afraid of my own darkness, but through poetry and writing, I have been able to embrace it and create art from it.
