|  | The Juno Charm (Salmon Poetry)
Publication Date: June 4, 2012| Series: Salmon Poetry Nuala Ni Chonchuir reveals herself yet again as a witty and energetic purveyor of the happiness and pleasure that lie on the far side of the wall of common experience, that are to be discovered simply by following the natural path to our most physical and erotic selves.
