Publisher's Synopsis
John FitzGerald, familiar since childhood with the topography of the poem, offers a commemorative translation, a new slant in language that captures and communicates the physical intensity of Eileen O'Connell's love and bereavement. The book contains also Se?n ? Tuama's edition of the original Irish and, for the first time in monochrome, Jack B Yeats's illustrations made for the text.
