The term Poets and Dreamers was first introduced by Lady Gregory in 1903 with her collection 
Poets and Dreamers: Studies and Translations from the Irish, as she brought together daring, imaginative voices to explore themes like shadow-heroes, herb healing, and life on the "edge of the world." Poets and Dreamers now carries forward that legacy-expanding its reach across literature, fine arts, cuisine, and global culture.

Literary Feature 


Our current feature, the Art of Travel, is an essay by poet and scholar Kevin McGrath. First published by Poets and Dreamers Literary Journal in 2018, we revisit this work to learn from, seek wisdom within, and honor his powerful spirit as he makes his journey away from this world.

Infinitely wise,
profoundly spiritual, and uniquely generous, Dr Kevin McGrath trusted several works to Poets and Dreamers Literary & Fine Arts Journal, a journal devoted to collecting works from artists across the globe who join with a spirit of cultural unity, of erasing the divides that exist between lands, and creating a space of universal belonging.  The great poet left us these words so that we may transcend as humans, as travelers, as artists and scholars on our respective journeys. 

Soar high on powerful wings, beautiful spirit ... you will forever be missed but always honored by the Poets and the Dreamers of this world ... as artists and as humans, we remain eternally grateful for the wisdom and love you gifted to us and the art of literature.

Go forward and make your dreams come true.

Our previous issue, the Dreamers and Displaced, is a collection of works from artists across the globe who join with a spirit of cultural unity, of erasing the divides that exist between lands, and creating a space of universal belonging...Through these works, artists address these themes with a poetic sense of unity, of rising above misconceptions that divide humanity, of sharing the word that wisdom and love are possible—and it is through art that we can make this happen.

San Clemente, CA

So we travel on earth seeking the terrain of Poetry, walking through wilderness and empty landscape or visiting those ancient sites like Dholavira in far-western Gujarat, or Mykenai in the Greek Peloponnese, or the Arawak campsite on eastern Carriacou in the Grenadine Windward Isles, pursuing that authenticity of experience in a form of antique material reality...

These are places, strange and vague situations where death is manifold and thoroughly extant to the careful eye. There are women’s bangles made of shell to be picked up from the saline dust or small copper beads and thin chert blades, or tiny obsidian arrow-heads that can be unhidden and disclosed beneath those bloody grey walls about the Lion Gate, or beautiful indented potsherds and ceramic fragments at the waterline where the Atlantic rolls out its long blue visceral waves...
