Peadar McDaid's exquisite, ethereal illustrations are the perfect complement to the poetry, evoking haunting romantic images and picturesque Irish landscapes.
Many People ignore Black and white art flipping through it like text on the page. Somehow Peadar has overcome that and presents a view of his world for others to step in and share
