David Philip Ireland

Hello, I'm David Philip Ireland - a performance poet, singer, musician, and artist. "My latest collection, "Rattlesnake Jar", is a breathtaking tribute to the complexities of life, love, and the human experience. The poems and lyrics in this collection span six decades of the author's life and cover a range of themes, including nature, personal reflection, and cultural change. At its core, "Rattlesnake Jar" is a celebration of the human spirit and its ability to endure and persevere in the face of adversity. Through his simple and elegant writing style, Ireland masterfully explores the complexities of life and presents a powerful and personal perspective on the world. Throughout my long and storied career, I've had the privilege of performing alongside some truly remarkable musicians, including BB King, Sparks, Yes, Kayak, Boudewijn de Groot, and many others.
