A collection of poetry by Angeal Ní Chualáin
This is a collection full of humanity and heritage, which strikes notes that echo in the reader’s memory. – Oireachtas na Gaeilge judging panel notes
These poems are an attempt to put words to life. At this crossroad in history, from the point of view of the future of the world, the things that helped communities to survive in the past are recaptured: respect for the natural world including the language, the arts and the belief that is still alive.
These poems pay homage to nature and landscape, of which the swans are symbols of resilience, as they return year after year. The consequences of warfare are considered in this collection, whether at home or abroad, and an invitation extended to reconsider the gift of peace when it exists. – Angela Ní Chualáin
