Ireland Revisited

by Jill Uris

IRELAND REVISITED A decade ago, Jill Uris and her novelist husband set out on a research odyssey in Ireland with her cameras and his typewriter. The result, A TERRIBLE BEAUTY*, has become a landmark book on that country and her people. In subsequent visits, Jill Uris has confirmed her earlier promise as one of the outstanding photographers of Ireland of this century. But she had more to say, a longing to express a people s eternal soul searching for their place in the sun and their identity. Her magnificent photographs speak for a tone poem of rock-strewn land and mists and leathered faces. , In the text, two dozen Irish writers and writers of Ireland from Joyce and Yeats to Eugene O Neill and George Bernard Shaw paint a canvas of words that will sweep you into the poignancy, the tragedy, and the lyrical wit that is Ireland. She is a supreme artist with a camera. In this latest volume, she excels herself, presenting us with a glorious, sweeping panorama of this country in all its beauty... assembled with both wit and wisdom... each passing page is a delight to the eye... a volume to be dipped into whenever the spirit needs uplifting Cork Examiner

The first photography book anyone ever gave me, It was from my grandmother whom had spent much of her life outside of the United States, she was very fond of Ireland, her Irish heritage, and the freckles that come with both!
Jill is amazing, shes by far one of my fav. photographers, right up there with Bryan Halay...look him up on google, he's a rising star.
