This is the Substack of Michael R. Burch with some of his very best poems and translations.
I am a poet, translator, editor and publisher. My poems have been published by hundreds of literary journals, taught in high schools and colleges, translated into 19 languages, and set to music by 31 composers.
A sanctum for classical aesthetics, biting criticism and modern beauty
I am a poet from Ireland. I specialise in writing love poems that are well-crafted, transcendent and full of emotive power.
