The Friend in the Marsh
a book of the one who waits among the grasses and of the kite that returns
William Vincent Carleton
In the tall grasses a small bird waits, seen for a moment and then still again. Above the marsh, Líam learns to wind his string gently and bring his kite home. A closing book about friends glimpsed briefly, and the quiet skill of coming back.
