About this listen

This charming collection of poems and blessings celebrating the Skellig islands will take the listener on a magnificent journey to the mysterious islands that have captivated the hearts and imaginations of pilgrims and visitors throughout the centuries. The beautiful poetry embraces the mystery and history of the ancient Skellig monastery and the monks who built it, the birds and marine life, the flora and fauna, and the powerful moods of the seasons surrounding these stunning islands at Europe’s western edge.

This book is suitable for all ages, from the fun tones of poems such as "Puffling" and "Seal", the adventurous spirit of "Skellig Dive", the historical themes of "Peregrinatio" and "Brotherhood", the moving and spiritual "Hermit’s Prayer", the haunting mood of "Keeper of the Lost", and the meditative "Breathe", as the author gives voice to the islands, capturing the very soul of Skellig.

I am full of admiration for Anne, through her wonderful words in my minds eye I could see this beautiful area of Ireland. I could see this beautiful world that our God created through her words. Thank you Anne, I heartily recommend your book.
