Отрывок из книги
“Paintner takes us on a pilgrimage to discover the holiness of the natural world. One long section features stories of Christian saints who had a kinship with animals—herons, ravens, hares, cats, otters. These poems are both charming and whimsical, filled with a sense of divine presence that we have lost in the modern electronic world. In another section, she weaves Irish myths and legends and traditional fairy tales like an intricately laced Celtic knot. Anyone interested in the intersection of poetry, Celtic mythology, and spirituality will surely love this beautiful book as much as I did.”
—Barbara Crooker, poet, author of The Book of Kells and Some Glad Morning
