REVIEW

"In a deeply sympathetic but unsentimental way, Rattigan strikes a chord somewhere between the tightness of the haiku and the down-to-earth but stringent ‘steel-pen exactness’of the early Irish nature lyric. In his observed intimate sketches of nature’s quietly unnoticed, little half-tucked away mysteries, a glimpse of our own mystery is opened to us."
