Firefly Zodiac Fiona McIlroy

The poetry collection called Firefly Zodiac has a focus on the big picture, our planet earth, our galaxy and constellations beyond. Fiona telescopes space and time into our view, giving a fresh perspective on everyday events. Surprise is an element of her poetry, as well as refreshment of the senses. Fiona is passionate about human relationships, and the natural world. She transcends the boundaries between the seen and unseen, tangible and intangible. The reader becomes a space traveller. The poems hover between the terrestrial and the celestial. The energy of each word, line and verse draws us into the line between the material and numinous world.
'Heavens above, heavens below.
Only an inkling of the infinite can stun...'



"This new collection of Fiona's poetry takes us to the ethereal universe of her soul and mind. The poems dance melodically through the sky to her own tune, illuminating and igniting the passion of our inner fire. She reveals a deep understanding of the oneness of humanity and nature. Fiona writes with honesty, generosity and hope." -Maria Lourdes Doronila OAM, Poet & playwright
