'In Ireland, we love the underdog. The reason is that we were the underdog for a very long time. We know what it is to be bullied, and we know what it is to resist. We stood up against a great empire, just as Ukraine is doing now. I am heartened by the great humanity, compassion and concern displayed by the contributors to this anthology. It represents a powerful expression of Ireland’s solidarity with Ukraine and its people.' Peter Sheridan – Playwright, Director and Author

'This moving and eloquent collection of prose and poetry is a testament to the desire and ability of ordinary Irish people to express solidarity with Ukraine’s suffering due to a Russian fascist invasion. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. The people represented in this admirable anthology have not forgotten.' Catriona Crowe – Archivist and Broadcaster
