“Take Any Ship That Sails” by Michele Heeney is now available for purchase
AR Press is honored to announce the publication of “Take Any Ship That Sails” by Michele Heeney. The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARPress website.
For decades, Michele’s life centered around birth in obstetrics and gynecology as a nurse practitioner. At the same time, her creativity was flourishing: “I was always taking pictures and writing poetry.”
Now that the medical world has drifted into the past, the poetic and visual arts fill her time, producing images of beauty and heart, as in her fifth book. Through both bodies of artistic work, there is a deep passion for nature.
After receiving her R.N. After moving from Pennsylvania to California, she expanded her career at UCSF, studying OB-BYN and becoming a nurse practitioner. The last fifteen years of her career were spent in Monterey County, working with Mexican farm workers in the Salinas Valley.
Michele’s poems bring us her perspective on eternal themes of obsession, love, pain, loss, and one’s own nagging self.
This fifth book of Michele’s spans 45 years of writing poems and thousands of miles of geography. It is a selection of poems from when Michele was in her teens in Pennsylvania to recent poems inspired by the beautiful mountains and mesas of New Mexico. There are poems from Monterey and Main counties, California. From times spent writing at Esalem in Big Sur. A few are from her time in Hawaii.
Each poem is a testament to Michele’s ability to transform everyday moments into extraordinary visions, evoking a rich tapestry of emotions and scenes.
This compelling book covers nature, love, art, and personal growth. There are some in free verse and classical form. Her favorite poets are many, including the Sufi poets Rumi and Hafiz and the English and Irish poets, including Seamus Heaney. If you are a reader who loves poetry, this is the perfect book for you.
