Waking Light, Kerri ní Dochartaigh and Mícheál McCann

Skein Press' first publication of 2022 and the first Solstice Stories book is by writers Kerri ní Dochartaigh and Mícheál McCann in collaboration with photographer Michelle Moloney. Through poetry, imagery and lyric fragments, Waking Light seeks to honour the small things, the seeds of beginnings and endings, and the search for places where we find ourselves and each other.

Recognising that events like the solstice and other transformative natural cycles both ground and elevate us, Waking Light is a hymn that sings of the shift in the light – the constant source of life – amidst the backdrop of a rapidly changing world. Filled with hope and elegy, these evocative reflections offer a measure of grace, solace and renewal. This limited edition of 300 beautiful accordion-style books is designed and handmade by book artist Éilís Murphy of Folded Leaf.
