McQuilland is a collection of poetry crafted during the early 20th century. The book explores themes of travel, heroism, romance, and the complexities of national identity, with a particular emphasis on the Irish experience. McQuilland's verses possess a lyrical quality, reflecting both personal and collective sentiments of longing, adventure, and reflection. In this collection, McQuilland evokes the spirit of exploration and the yearning for freedom through the titular poem, "A Song of the Open Road," which celebrates the call of adventure and the embrace of life's journey. The poems delve into the beauty of nature, the joy of companionship, and the poignant memories of lost loves and friends. Notable pieces such as "The Song of the Flag" and "RESURGAM: IRELAND, 1916" tackle national pride and the quest for unity amidst historical strife.
