A True Taste of the Burren

This work presents a true taste of life in the Burren in western Ireland. PJ Curtis lets you see and feel the soul of the landscape and the people that grow out of it. Whether it is one of his essays, short stories or poems, PJ makes it clear that the Burren life is organic in that the land and the people are one and the spirit world acts as the medium between them. Music is one of the main languages in which the spirits communicate. The ghosts are intermediaries who inspire and inhabit the music which touches every aspect of life in the Burren and that part of County Clare. PJ's characters display a lightness of being and an ease with life's burdens and death that is refreshing and not to be found in more popular writings of our day. This work is highly recommended.
