Mary enjoys photography and produced a series of postcards during the 1980s that sold around Ireland. Her work has also been exhibited. Her first book Perfume of the Soil, (1999), enjoyed great success and has been reprinted. The book is an invitation to delve into life in rural Ireland throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Some of her poems also speak of modern Ireland and about life in the city. Her observations, emotions and sheer ability to go straight to the heart of a subject make her work popular and celebratory. 9780952134282 ISBN 0952134284. Seller Inventory # 95426
