The Astrakhan Cloak

From Feis , Ní Dhomhnaill’s newest collection in Irish, The Astrakhan Cloak offers poems selected and translated by Paul Muldoon. Ní Dhomhnaill’s skillful negotiations between the forms, fables, and idioms of an older Ireland and the commodity culture, depth-psychology, and Eurospeak of modern Ireland are disclosed by the playful, accurate language of Muldoon who has been called the “most charismatic poet” of the British Isles.
