Upcoming Book: Under Irish Skies

From the neolithic passage tombs of Newgrange to the wit of Oscar Wilde, in Taba Dale’s new book of 80 short stories, you’ll get a glimpse of the ancient Celtic civilization as well as experience Ireland’s unique and vibrant contemporary culture. Through Taba’s enchanting travel sketches, you’ll see through a multifaceted window into the stimulating capital city of Dublin to the staggeringly beautiful corner of County Clare. Profound and humorous in equal measure, this book delivers a powerful dose of the charm and magic that is Ireland. Some stories are a bit more spiritual like “Invisible Grace,” written after witnessing a magical double rainbow. Another is called “Threshold of Infinity,” inspired by the writer John O’Donohue from his book Anam Cara, which really struck a chord. And then there are just pure poems like “This Way and That” describing the changing of the tide that is so evident by the water’s edge on Liscannor Bay, or “Space Between,” which vacillates between the physical and non-physical worlds.
