Welcome to my poetry page! In my books, the reader will discover a world of imagism, a type of imagistic glass that incorporates themes of nature, pop culture, myth, surrealism and world experience to lead the reader towards epiphanies of feelings, insights and beauty. They are a witness to meditations on love, the psychoanalytical process, trauma, spirituality, nature and living one’s truth and engaging in empathy towards self and others. I welcome your comments and hope you will take the time to purchase my books below.

Kevin Clifford Burke’s poetry collection, The Bridge of Love, asks readers to take risks, live in the moment, and love without hesitation. These themes are skillfully threaded through the collection. The universal nature of the poems make them well-suited for readers looking for inspiration and hope in a world full of chaos. Similarly, the poems’ rich sound play, beautiful metaphors, and lyrical wrangling will reel in poetry enthusiasts.
