Voices of Iona

Arts & Literature

“Fullman leads his readers on a pilgrimage from the Cliffs of Dover to the monastery founded by St. Columba on the Scottish isle of Iona. His verse carries us on with rhythms that are incantatory yet colloquial, subtle yet resonant. This long poem enacts a dialogue between ancient Celtic myths and modern voices. It is at once profoundly learned and deeply personal.”
