"Here are both the rough and exquisite of Ireland's creation – the repose of rock, the vivacity of wind and mist, the bravado of heath moss and delicate cotton flowers in the vast Irish fields....To see such wildness balanced, as it must be at winter solstice and summer solstice, is Rachel Brown's purpose and achievement." —from the Foreword by Mary Oliver
