In the second volume of his beloved Connemara trilogy, cartographer Tim Robinson continues to unearth the stories of this rich landscape in Irelandweaving placelore, etymology, geology, and the meeting of sea and shore into the regions mythologies.From the northern fiord waters of Killary Harbour to the southern seawashed islands of Slyne Head, western Connemara awes with a rugged landscape: sloping cliffs, towering mountains, and the everpresent thudding of the Atlantic. And here, within the earth, resides the record of the past; stones with ashgrey centers reveal volcanic episodes, a series of mysteriously arranged quartz boulders reminds us of the ancient secrets held in the soil, and a longdisappeared lake filled in by sand lies beneath a golf course, waiting to be rediscovered.Mapping more than geography, Tim Robinson charts Connemaras deep relationship to those who have inhabited its surface. The Last Pool of Darkness brims with tales of ghosts, centuriesold land disputes, periods of religious and political upheavals, philosophers entranced by the isolating landscape, poets, mathematicians, artists, fantastical smugglers, the discovery of botanical rarities, trickster fairies, and the delicate balance between humans and nature. Not merely a certain tract of the Earths surface but an accumulation of connotations, Robinsons Connemara offers readers an opportunity to travel across space and time.A work of great precision and tenderness, The Last Pool of Darkness is an enchanting addition to the Seedbank series and next chapter in one of the most remarkable nonfiction projects undertaken in English (Robert Macfarlane).
