Conamara in the West of Ireland is a strange and beautiful landscapea landscape of intense contrasts that is uniquely dependent on light and shade. In this exquisitely crafted collection of poetry, John O'Donohue evokes the vital energy and rhythm of Conamara, engaging with the earth, sky, and sea, and its majestic mountains that quietly preside over this terse landscape.
Written with penetrating insight and deftness of touch, Conamara Blues offers a unique, imaginative vision of a landscape dwelling within its own narrativea landscape of hope and possibility that is at once familiar and unknown.
