And So To Rest
by Patrick StackAnd So To Rest audio
This poem was written in the aftermath of an Interrail trip around northern Spain in the autumn of 1983 in the company of poet Mael Coll Rua and artist Antonio McBride. The events it recounts unfolded in Galicia on 31 October or Samhain.
It is taken from my first poetry collection, The Parting (Amethyst Dragon, 2013). The recording was made on 18 May 2020.
