Troubles

This is the story of a child growing up in war-torn Northern Ireland; of a musician who migrated to the United States with only ＄50 and a guitar; of a man who braved the bridges of New York City and the collapse of the Twin Towers. This is the story of Patrick O’Kane. From the turbulent streets of Troubles-era Derry to the highest barrels of the George Washington Bridge, the poems of Troubles explore a daughter’s interpretations of a father’s life that has been anything but ordinary.
