Synopsis :

Achill Island has always inspired poets and artists from all over the world as they come to observe its intense landscape; peat bogs, white sandy beaches, awing cliffs and towering mountains collide into each other to create a world of rural innocence. In this anthology, the celebrated poet John F. Deane brings us into the spiritual and enchanted secrets of his beloved childhood island, through a collection of poems that will impassion every heart to the beauty of the Wild Atlantic Coast. Magically illustrated by the hand of leading Irish sculptor John Behan, this book is a journey of splendour, a gaze across the ocean, a walk on a beach where every grain of sand whispers a story. This special publication presents an in-depth awareness of the island of Achill, its heritage, its spirit, its physical wonder and its magical light and seas. The book brings together two acknowledged masters in their individual arts, and is a tribute to the island close to their hearts.
