Portraits of the Past

Michael Whelton

Michael Whelton is a retired medical doctor who has also dedicated himself to art and literary pursuits. His work has previously appeared in publications such as The Consultant, Irish Medical Times as well as being broadcast on RTÉ's Sunday Miscellany radio programme.

Life, death and all things in between, including the decisions that we make, or have thrust upon us and how we face the consequences; how we allow those consequences to shape our destinies. These are among the poignant moments and personal epiphanies captured in a skilfully blended collection of bittersweet tales, told with honesty, candour, plenty of humour and never a dull moment, though the characters in these stories often seem to dwell in a certain twilight.

Written with keen observation and rare insight, these are moments that are meant to be captured, revealing as they do, the intensity of living in this world and the understanding of what it means to be alive within it.
