These are poems that explore the parameters of a contemporary Christian sensibility in an attempt-through the reclamation of the language of sacrament and celebration-to re-invent a meaningful approach to contemporary problems. 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.
