Opening with a poem to the mystic Rose, these stories range across Irish history and legend: a wandering gleeman crucified by monks in “The Crucifixion of the Outcast”, a king who has the wisdom of the Sidhe, an old man seeking the heart of the spring, and a tramp who teaches holiness in “Where There Is Nothing, There Is God”. Druids, knights and visionaries move between this world and the other.
