Biography[edit]
Early life[edit]
Ireland was born in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Bryson City, North Carolina. He received a B.A. in English and an M.Ed from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He is of English, Irish, and German descent.
Career[edit]
All three of Ireland's books were published by WordTech Communications. His first collection, Loners and Mothers, was recommended by Bollingen Prize-winning poet Fred Chappell, who wrote: "In Loners and Mothers the lines are profoundly, almost harshly, felt and durably made."[1] The book was reviewed favorably by IndieReader and Kirkus Reviews.[2] Bestselling poet Tyler Knott Gregson said of Ireland's second collection, "This book is a wonderful addition to the world of poetry."[3] Ireland's third book, Landscapes Old and New, combines old and new poems and was praised by former North Carolina Poet Laureate Shelby Stephenson.
Ireland has lived in Pennsylvania, Florida, South Dakota, Alaska, and Montana. He currently resides in Lexington, North Carolina. He has said in interviews that he only decided to become an author at the late age of 46, and that Charlotte Bronte is the author he most admires.[4]
Ireland is the son of Wilmot Robertson, author of The Dispossessed Majority.
