Michael O'Leary's Dreamlander Express trilogy. It tells the story of factory worker Patrick Mika Fitzgerald, who after several years of working at the same job and looking after his ailing mother, is freed from these ties by death and redundancy. He embarks on an existential train journey in pursuit of a woman he has dreamed of meeting. When reality and dreams colide his world is turned into a previously unknown state of moral real dilema.

This collection of poems by New Zealand poet Michael O'Leary takes the reader through the several suburbs and areas that make up the poet's hometown. O'Leary looks at Central. North, South, East and West Auckland with affection and an eye for the unusual. There is also a long sequence called Auckland Revisited, and all these works are currently being made into songs to be released on a CD later in 2015.

Michael O'Leary's Selected Poems takes the reader through many and varied encounters with the world, both inner and outer. He writes of love and war, good and evil and several other states of mind and being that are always being altered by the ideas and people he encounters as he travels through life. There is a great variety of styles of poetry in this book, including two long and winding poems, one about Wellington City, the other about Hitler's architect, Albert Speer. Such are the wide and varied themes in O'Leary's explorations of the human psyche.
