Synopsis
Mícheál Fanning is a superb poet. A poet has an obligation to bear witness to the human, the vulnerable. and the sacred, and Fanning does just this. The book commences with an evocation of Stone, Bronze, & Iron ages, and from then on the poet travels through the many Kerry villages and towns of his childhood. He has certainly found his voice and transcends suffering through Art. But his statement is much more than that. It is a discovery of an ancient global art of poetry—the maker, the poet, calls on the Word to create a magical and mist-filled world of laughter, humanity, and mirth. This is an unusual, unique experience of a mystic exploring the mysterious world of an ancient and modern Kerry tribal people in the southwest of Ireland. John Minihan has beautifully illustrated the poems with non-digital black and white photographs appropriately chosen to synchronize with reference to the poem itself.
