"There are certain places which the fairies have power over at night, and if anybody goes into them after dusk he cannot come out until morning, though he may be walking all night." The work investigates the phenomenon of the same name in Irish folklore: enchanted patches of earth that lead astray whoever steps on them. Inspired by first-hand accounts found in the Irish National Archives, the author reimagines rural Irish landscapes through this otherworldly lens, in a world where established reference points distort and shift.
