The Leahey Legacy

Joseph Leahey is a poet based in Vancouver, British Columbia. joeleahey.com presents a selection of his poems from the last several years. It also incudes poems relative to the time periods indicated in the "The Dreamer and the Dreamed: Collected Poems of Joseph Leahey Vol 1," published by FriesenPress.

Since the publication of The Dreamer and the Dreamed just over a year ago, there's been a renewed interest in the related Young Joseph's Dream suite of poems which were publicly recognised and honoured throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. 

To go directly to Young Joseph's Dream, turn to Page 103 of The Dreamer and the Dreamed and the poem titled "The Darkening Seconds."

I post them when I’m satisfied with their level of completion. There is no specific order to their presentation which spans decades. Given this randomness, I’ve time-stamped them to at least provide a marker of when they first found their way to the drafting table.
