At A Distance

With four highly entertaining and unique novels (The Great and the Small, A Trick of the Light, The Time of the Rains - making up The Gnome Trilogy - and Flittermouse, or The Travels of Bron Blackthorn) and a short story anthology (It Came From Inside Her Head) under her belt, it was only a matter of time before Jan McCarthy brought her poetry into the public eye. Under a mask of humour, her writing issues a challenge to fellow humans everywhere to live more responsibly, to be grateful, and to enjoy life and its many blessings. This volume of poetry is perfectly in keeping with her prose writing, and will charm and convince all but the most cynical and worldweary of readers.
