The fourth poetry collection from Louis Mulcahy, reflects on fifty years working in clay. With humour, scepticism and love, Louis reflects on the trials and joys of the artist craftsman from prehistory through Biblical times to his own ceramic sculpture, ranging from the classic pots of the Chinese Sung Dynasty through those of the Japanese Tea Ceremony to the excitement and vicissitudes of learning the Potter's craft. His poetry garnered appreciation from many respected poets, including Thomas McCarthy, who said of this collection, "Here is a poetry of childhood, memory, but mainly, and most triumphantly, a poetry of human longing and attachment."
