Tír na nÓg is a collection of poems, stories, and essays about writers from Ireland, Scotland, England and America. The book was inspired by C. S .Lewis, George MacDonald, Seamus Heaney, John O' Donohue, and Jon Foreman; other writers, the ancient Irish myth of Tír na nÓg, sehnsucht, the healing power of music, literature, and art, the mountains of North Carolina, and a life changing trip to Ireland, Scotland, and England. "Tír na nÓg, Wiggins tells us, evokes the sehnsucht mystical joy, experienced by C.S. Lewis and written about in his books, as well as carrying the traditional Irish meaning of Land of the Forever Young. This is a rich educational book showing a deep respect of writers, musicians, and poets, and all forms of Art, and the value of artists in society. I could sum up this book by saying that for me it asked the question 'What sparks joy?' and answered the question in a myriad of ways with many examples from great writers, and even more beautifully in the author's own honest voice. Thanks Justin - I look forward to many more books in your name." -Ger White - Ireland Poet (Newspapers on the Floor) "Tír na nÓg might be called a Justin Wiggins sampler, a compact array of his essays, poetry, and fiction, written in a voice honest, totally unpretentious, and fearlessly vulnerable. I see in it the seeds of many great and good books to come from my young friend, Justin Wiggins." -Henry Mitchell Author of The Summer Boy & The Winged Child
