Debut collection, beautifully presented in hardback, from Mary Lavery Carrig.
Praise for Rich Pickings
“Mary Lavery Carrig’s poems speak with a quiet conviction. This is a gentle, loving book celebrating the joys of love, of family and friends. Her native Tarbert speaks in the poems—its singers, dancers, drinkers, its characters and daoine le Dia who, in viewing the world at an angle, happen on the miraculous. I welcome this book and am glad to supportMary on her poetic journey.” – Gabriel Fitzmaurice, Poet.
I will show you
a secret picture
from a winter day
that planted itself
forever to intone
inside my mind.
