BIOGRAPHY
My education and work experience were financial in nature. I was a CPA and worked for a large multinational corporation. Some fifteen years ago I started to write poetry and had the good fortune to receive guidance and encouragement from some outstanding local poets and writers in the Greenville, SC area. I have continued writing and have now also ventured into writing prose, as is reflected in my current book, Unlocking the Vault.

I really enjoyed reading your book! Unlocking the Vault is such a heartfelt collection, and I love how you turned memories, emotions, and everyday moments into beautiful pieces that readers can connect with. Your writing feels genuine and personal. I also think an audiobook would be a great addition—it would be wonderful to hear your words come to life. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us! 😊
Unlocking the Vault by Joseph Deehan feels like a heartfelt walk through memory, place, and emotion. Through his poems and stories, Deehan brings readers from Ireland, with all its mystery, beauty, and sorrow, to the familiar shores of New Jersey and the quiet foothills of South Carolina.
What I enjoyed most is how personal the writing feels. His words are thoughtful and reflective, but never distant. There is a gentle honesty in the way he sees the world, making each piece feel like it comes from a real place of feeling and experience.
This is the kind of book you read slowly, not because it is difficult, but because you want to sit with the images and emotions it leaves behind. Unlocking the Vault is moving, lyrical, and full of heart.
I’m also looking forward to its audiobook version. With writing this poetic, hearing the words spoken aloud would add another layer of warmth and emotion, making the experience even more powerful for listeners.
A Beautiful Collection That Stays With You
Unlocking the Vault is one of those books that I found myself returning to long after I had finished reading it. Joseph Deehan has a remarkable ability to transport readers to different places and moments in time while making them reflect on their own lives and experiences.
I particularly enjoyed the way the collection moves between Ireland, New Jersey, and South Carolina, creating a rich tapestry of memories, landscapes, and emotions. The poems and prose pieces are filled with vivid imagery and heartfelt observations that made me feel as though I was traveling alongside the author. Whether describing the beauty of nature, exploring family heritage, or reflecting on life's joys and sorrows, Deehan writes with honesty and grace.
What stood out to me most was the emotional depth of the collection. There is a sense of wisdom and humanity throughout the book that makes the work feel both deeply personal and universally relatable. Some pieces inspired reflection, while others evoked nostalgia, hope, and appreciation for the simple moments that often shape our lives.
The poem "Journey" perfectly captures the spirit of the collection—a reminder of growth, perseverance, and the beauty that can emerge from struggle. It is clear that every piece has been crafted with care and genuine feeling.
I would highly recommend Unlocking the Vault to anyone who enjoys poetry, reflective writing, or literature that explores the connections between place, memory, and identity. This is a thoughtful and rewarding collection that deserves to be read slowly and savored.
