The Madness of Trees and Stars

In AD 637, an Irish king throws a spear at a saint's bell and is cursed to wander, stripped of crown, clothes, and ground, driven into the trees, unable to land. He never stops landing. The Madness of Trees and Stars follows Suibhne across fourteen centuries of exile: from the hilltops of early medieval Ireland to an Appalachian hollow, a World War One trench, a Manhattan steel frame, the Dust Bowl camps, a VA psychiatric ward, and finally a city park in the present day, where a elm tree holds its ground and a scholar with a notebook arrives to listen.
