Skinner's generous selection of poems in this new collection spans thirty years of work and responds to his life in Ireland where he has had a home for thirty-two years. Focused primarily on County Clare, the poems record the author's encounters with the landscape, animals, and the people of Ireland, in historical, mythical, and contemporary settings.
