From local poet From local poet Michael Durack’s introduction for the launch of And Say:
“The setting [of the poems] for the most part is the mid-west of Ireland, a pastoral landscape, a timeless natural landscape of varying moods with the elements in a state of flux, in constant interaction with each other and with the poet’s inner landscape.

It’s a fascinating world—dark forests, stormy seas, surface and underground water, and shifting colours, light, and shade. The range of flora is matched by the variety of fauna: in here you will find swallows, gulls, herons, a fox, dragonflies, fish jumping.

The overall impression is of a brilliant kaleidoscope where nature is dynamic and sometimes menacing, but ultimately soothing and reassuring, a balm for the negative emotions of anger and anxiety
