The Marsh That Holds the Light
a book of the tall grasses and the ones who live among them
William Vincent Carleton
The marsh doesn't announce itself. It waits to be noticed. Among the tall spartina, Lúmine sees the egret first and Líam sees the turtle, while Father points but doesn't name everything. A book that teaches the art of standing still at the edge, and finding more than you came looking for.
