The Writing Life

Anne combines her writing with the creation of funeral ceremonies and her work as a coach – coaching people who want to bring about change, accountability, or another perspective, (www.stormtosky.com) in their personal or professional lives.

Anne treasures opportunities for writing retreats and immersing herself in other
communities. She delights in presenting to audiences at festivals, community events and schools.

Each of her books contain prize winning poems judged by poets such as Marilyn Hacker, Billy Collins, Kevin Brophy, Fay Zwicky, Kevin Hart, Chris Wallace-Crabbe, Andy Jackson, Philip Hodgins, and poetry published in the USA, Ireland, England and Australia. She has presented her poetry in most states of Australia, in Ireland, USA and Estonia.

” With wit and passion, skill and fellow feeling, the fragmentations of the past are made whole through a re-imaging as poetry. In between the dancing is the premier of a new poet, a first book that is as premier as it is memorable.”

– Paul Kane –

“Gleeson’s natural-voice poetry works into the corners of experience, both personal and imagined – a humane and contemplative first collection.”

– Aileen Kelly –

” E. A. Gleeson has that rare talent of lifting a moment of intimacy into the realm of universal truth, of capturing instances of recollection and infusing them with emotion and thoughtful language where every word gleams.”
