The Kerry Collection

The Kerry Collection is a gathering of fiction and poetry created by Sam Montana while in residence at County Kerry, Ireland, as follows:

'The House of the Boatmaker'

Jessica Wolfe is a young woman who attends the death of her estranged father. The final episode of a relationship based upon a shared, unspoken grief that marks the beginning of an emotional journey. A poignant story of loss, and of being lost and a motherless daughter's search for the way home again.  

'BlowIn - Chapbook One'

In this premier episode, Sam Montana walks in the shadow of Jake O'Connor, a young man thrust into the last dance of a factory town during the late sixties, a fading blue collar world that acts as catalyst to an ongoing creative trek across America and Europe.     

'The Raven Faction'

'Dat veniam corvis, vexat censura columbas.'   

Censure acquits the raven, but pursues the dove - Juvenal

Kris Shepard is an artist who resides in a world of closely guarded solitude. A young woman with a singular passion derived from the point of a chisel and whose extraordinary abilities of facial recognition threatens all that she holds dear in this tale of love, honor and deception which unfolds from Provincetown to the windswept seclusion of the West of Ireland.
