These poems speak to the animist in me, the part of that sees a spark of holiness in every living thing on this planet (and I include the earth, and the rocks and mountains in the term living) and seeks to connect with it. They are full of the sort of faith that transcends religion (although it is very firmly grounded in Christianity and recalls the Celtic christainity of the early Irish and Scotish saints) and offers an experience of the numinous that sings to my soul. Every single page asks us to look beyond the everyday and let the wonder that is existance, and the holiness therein, lift us and open us and show us a different way to be and to experience the gift of life that we’ve been given. It is a call to the wild, to the re-wilding of the soul, and it is beautiful. 

Every single one of the sixty four poems contained something that resonated with me but I found with ‘An Almost Pilgrimage’, ‘The Martyrs of Compiegne’, ‘What rage or madness drives you?’, ‘A Congregation of None’, ‘With Green Men in the Rafters’, ‘Community in Common’ and 'A New Commandment' connected particularly deeply.
