Reviews

'I recommend this Anthology to anyone interested in or concerned about democracy, justice, and the right to demonstrate and protest.' Gerasko Larysa - Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Ireland 'In Ireland, we love the underdog. The reason is that we were the underdog for a very long time. We know what it is to be bullied, and we know what it is to resist. We stood up against a great empire, just as Ukraine is doing now. I am heartened by the great humanity, compassion and concern displayed by the contributors to this anthology. It represents a powerful expression of Ireland's solidarity with Ukraine and its people.' Peter Sheridan - Playwright, Director and Author 'This is a beautiful and moving collection bursting with solidarity and compassion for the people of Ukraine.' Roisin Ingle - Journalist 'This moving and eloquent collection of prose and poetry is a testament to the desire and ability of ordinary Irish people to express solidarity with Ukraine's suffering due to a Russian fascist invasion. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. The people represented in this admirable anthology have not forgotten.' Catriona Crowe - Archivist and Broadcaster
