Moving from sonnet and stories through Biblical echoes, to the music of psalms, this compilation examines the failures of care towards the earth and society, and offers Christian spirituality as a form of solace. Reflecting the poet s heritage, this collection also divulges the beauty of Achill, an island off Ireland s west coast."
