Synopsis
When does a poem tell the truth? When is it a lie? Intimate moments carefully re-appraised (first dates, break ups, young parenthood, etc.) are the raw material of these vivid and wholly engaging poems, written in Irish, and translated here by the author – a process that itself raises questions about poetry and truth.
But a great deal of the power of Ní Ghríofa’s work comes from the way her personal history links her to the wider world – to the imaginative encounters that prompt so many of the poems, to an acute awareness of the restless nature of language itself, and not least to the women who preceded her and who remain a steadying and guiding presence throughout.

Review
“[Ní Ghríofa] achieves the feat of making us look again at the usual and illuminating its pulsating strangeness. She is a brilliant addition to the distinguished succession of bilingual poets writing in Irish and English.” — Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Ireland Professor of Poetry
“The dual language approach of Ní Ghríofa sets her apart ... Be it in Irish or in English, the vitality and force of Doireann Ní Ghríofa’s powerful poetic voice ensure that her poetry will endure.” — Clíona Ní Ríordáin, Universitéde la Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris
