Okay, technically I've only half-read this book, as I...cannot read Irish. But even in translation there are some really interesting poems in here. Not all of them worked for me, not by a long shot, but I particularly liked "My Father's People," a poem about ancestors and all their baggage, "The Hair Market," which is just a little creepy in the right way, and "Opening the Tomb," about being there at the beginning of a goddess's cult.
To read Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill's poetry is to summon a rich and verdant world of the imagination. A triumph of contemporary Irish-language literature, Ní Dhomhnaill is celebrated internationally for the unique vision, and melody, which resonate from her work.
