A cabin project becomes the ground for reckoning with childhood, illness, and survival. Through prose both intimate and embodied, Sky Ground Sky is an inquiry into how we can live and grow with our own history, and that of the land. The building process itself reflects a journey of destruction, discovery, creation and healing. From a childhood between East Clare and London to adventures across Australia, Indonesia, and Mexico, Sky Ground Sky is about finding belonging in the blurring of time and change, where memories pass through crumbling soil. In a gentle weaving of eco-poetry, travel writing and reflection, this memoir explores the complex interplay between family and home, autonomy and community, chaos and continuity. Using the earth as a metaphor — porous and ever-changing — it offers a vision of healing without closure. Sky Ground Sky is a celebration of creativity, companionship, and the vulnerability of being human.
