Faded Belonging
In ‘Faded Belonging,’ Maria explores family history, childhood, ancestors, and the quiet unease of losing one’s place. Rooted in emotional truth and authenticity, these poems carry a raw, unvarnished honesty born from deeply personal experience. The language is stripped back and conversational, shaped by the dialect and phrasing of the North East and Ireland - giving the work a vivid, documentary feel, as if history itself is being spoken aloud.
Trips, Travels and Treasured
Memories - coming soon
Scheduled for publication later this year, Maria explores journeys of every kind - from roads walked to the quiet paths of memory.
Rooted in the same emotional truth and authentic voice, these poems carry a warm, unvarnished honesty drawn straight from lived experience.
The language is vivid and conversational, giving every piece the feel of a story shared along the way.
She weaves outward travel and cherished remembrance together, capturing departure, discovery, homecoming, and all the moments that stay with us long after the journey ends.
