Gathered from the poet's first two Irish-language books, these poems appear in Irish with English versions facing them, made by thirteen poets, a few of them translated twice. Images of desire sit beside grief and yearning, older traditions fold into the present, and because the poems keep asking how languages fail and fall silent, the book doubles as an exploration of what translation can achieve.
