Only her words will do:
slips of brightness that persist,
holding our hands, even in darkness.

My Irish poetry group read this collection this month. It is the third book by this writer we have read. It is a slight book, but one which in which even the smallest poems are rich with meaning. Ni Ghriofa writes cogently about lives of women, her own, and other women now and in the past. As one of the minority of Irish people who is fluent in the Irish language (learned as a second language), she often includes references to the language in her poems.
Anyone who has enjoyed any of Ni Ghriofa's other poetry collections or essays, should read this. Highly recommended.
