Maire (pronounced Moira) Morrissey Cummins lives in the valley of the mountains in West Cork, Ireland, where she paints watercolors for mindfulness and planted 4-acre garden to keep busy in her next decade. She continues to live close to nature and still publishes haiku, her favorite poetry genre, as well as longer poems, in print and online journals around the world. Maire's art work occasionally adorns the covers of poetry books, and she often sells some at year end, donating the profits to local charities.
