Summary: A World of its Own is a sustained lyric, an enchanted and enchanting song that captures in words and colour the simplicity, the beauty, the aloneness of a little-known, unspoilt world. Poet and painter viewed this world with independent eyes, neither seeking to interpret for the other. In an unusual collaboration they have captured a subtlety of impression and recreated a wholeness of experience difficult for either to achieve alone. The poems have a rare visual quality about them and the paintings and sketches a lyrical eloquence as though each art was about to spill over into the other. In the last poem in this book McAuley writes: all things visible, Become a treasure hoarded in the heart Till brought forth by the artist's hand, transformed, into an image. A World of its Own is a treasure hoarded in the heart and transformed by its artist's hands.
