A collection of images of Ireland that reveals the magnificence of a country of great beauty and spirit.

From a lone, thin tree swaying a fierce sea wind to a statue of St Patrick watching solemnly over a tiny, ancient cemetery, from a white enamel bowl tinged by a dim afternoon light flowing through lace curtains to a Connemara mare slowly ambling through a barren field with her newborn foal, Riley's work captures the many facets of Ireland: its mystical nature, incredible landscape, and rich historical and religious culture.

Riley’s work captures the many facets of Ireland: its mystical presence, landscape, and rich historical and religious culture.

With an introduction by acclaimed writer Nuala O’Faolain as well as excerpts from the works of other well-known Irish writers, this sublime volume is a visual and literary treasure that is as captivating as the country it portrays.

Jon Michael Riley has worked in film making and photography in Ireland, Paris and now works and resides in New York.
