Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog,Theory of Iconic Realism to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

A Quote by William Blake and Some Thoughts

I took this photo as I was leaving Galway Beach, Ireland.

“To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower 
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.” 
~ William Blake from "Augeries of Innocence"


Sharing Views

Whenever I traveled the Irish west coast,
listening to the waves lap up on shore,
my mind would wonder: 
"Just across that ocean 
is the east coast of the United States.
Who do I know might be sharing this view?" 

Then, along the beach at Cape Cod, 
I searched the ocean's horizon 
and wondered: "Who is looking across this sea
and possibly looking right at me?"
The blue-gray waters ebb and flow
releasing endless ruminations.

    These beautiful lines from Blake really touched me today! After spending 4 days in Galway, I had discovered the beach just as I was leaving that beautiful city to drive to Sligo... It was gorgeous!
