Review

'Although other such collections exist, this one uniquely features an all-Irish cast, making it a fitting tool for both the relations and friends of Irish people and for the Irish diaspora abroad. As well as works chosen for their power and poingnancy, there are poems for quiet personal reflection, to which we can turn after and before funeral ceremonies for solace. Not only for dealing with loss, Fond Memory is, in itself, a wonderful collection of Irish works.' -- Village Magazine * Village Magazine * 'a brilliant resource for the times when we are all stuck for words -- in sorrow, grief or loss. A collection of songs, poems, sayings and prayers that will celebrate remembrance, you'll find it full of moving excerpts.' -- Woman's Way * Woman's Way *
