Across the Narrow Straits - Rosemary Power

The narrow straits: The stretch of water between Ireland and Scotland The perilous, hopeful path of the refugee. The hidden, inner journey we all take to find the shore Historian and social justice advocate Rosemary Power maps the stormy crossings of the human spirit. Drawing on her deep connection to the Hebrides and a lifetime of advocating for the vulnerable, she offers poems that go to the heart of human experience and illuminate the most difficult straits of our lives.  From the stormy seas between Ireland and Scotland to the harrowing, eternal struggles of refugees seeking safety, these poems capture moments when land – and hope – is both tantalisingly close and agonisingly out of reach.
