Praise for Waking Light

To encounter this collaboration – weaving word and image into such a singular object – felt to me like catching a brief snatch of birdsong on the wind, four distinct artistic voices rising in unison, pure and clear. Beautiful.

Tender, haunted, filled with breath and journey. This is a book of dreamtime delights.
— Annemarie Ní Churreáin

This is a beautiful and memorable piece of work, and it’s stunningly produced – a must-have! — Kevin Barry
