y separately published work icon Some Days The Bird Rockville : Beltway Editions , 2022 26445871 2022 selected work poetry

'Throughout 2021, as COVID and climate change battled for supremacy in the hearts and minds of the world, American poet Heather Bourbeau and Irish-Australian poet Anne Casey engaged in a poetry conversation back and forth across the globe, alternating each week, to create 52 poems over 52 weeks. With poems anchored in their gardens, they buoyed each other through lockdowns and exile from family, through devastating floods, fires, wild winds and superstorms. Some Days The Bird, a collection of internationally recognized and award-winning poems, is the result of their weekly communiqués from different hemispheres (and opposing seasons) in verse.'(Publication summary) 

2024 commended SWW Book Awards Poetry
y separately published work icon The Light We Cannot See Clare (County) : Salmon Poetry , 2021 27025118 2021 selected work poetry

'the light we cannot see traverses a globe caught in the combined turmoil of the climate crisis, COVID-19 and humanitarian unrest, as seen through the eyes of a mother worried for her children's futures and an exiled daughter struggling with loss and separation from loved ones in her native Ireland. Navigating the path of these apocalyptic spheres and their devastating impacts -- including catastrophic bushfires in her adopted homeland of Australia -- the poet strives throughout this collection of award-winning poems to connect with our "one persisting challenge -- to somehow find our allied humanity." A probing reflection on the human condition, this book leans always towards "the light we cannot yet see, but know lies ahead."'
