“It was as if we were at the heart of a maze. We were overwhelmed by the enormity of the tasks ahead. Mary had given us a bottle of milk and a spoonful of loose tea, and so, unable to decide what to do, we did what all Irish men and women do: we had tea.

The mythic becomes particular; the particular becomes mythic in these fascinating poems of personalities and personas. Riveraâ€™s work is rich in empathy and invention.
