Conamara Blues: Poems is a collection of poetry by the late Irish poet, philosopher, and theologian John O'Donohue, first published in 2000. The book captures O'Donohue's deep connection to the rugged beauty of the Connemara region in the west of Ireland. His poetry in this collection reflects themes of nature, spirituality, love, loss, and the passage of time. Conamara Blues refers to Connemara (or Conamara in Irish), a region known for its wild landscapes, windswept coasts, and enduring Gaelic traditions. O'Donohue uses the setting as a backdrop to explore universal human experiences. Conamara Blues has been praised for its contemplative beauty and the way it merges the personal with the universal.
