Great Blasket is an isolated island community off the Kerry Coast of Ireland with a remarkable legacy of literary achievements. The Island leaves a deep impression for those who visit, for the story of its people is one of self-reliance, rich community, fierce connection to land and sea, the creative gifts of storytelling and music, and a faith-filled resilience. How wonderful to translate their story of fortitude and rich culture in a challenging environment to our own lives today.
Ellen Duzak is a retired Professor of Psychology at Becker College. She has loved the magic of Great Blasket Island and its people since her own visit there. Stepping on the Island's rocky shores touched her Celtic spirit and has inspired her for many years.
