One Mountain: Sold

Cherry Smyth’s foreboding vision grasped and enraged me. Her grief for the remote Irish landscape that awaits gold mining is also a stark protest from within the mountain that will echo long after in our minds. While ‘One Mountain: Sold’ exposes both the plight and nobility of the mountains, Smyth’s additional new poems climb to their peak. It’s here the reader can leap with her. With fragility and passion, these poems meditate on the very stuff that collides and pushes all matter up towards the sky.
