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.

Crossing easily the borders between the mythic and the everyday, writing familiarly of the gods of classical times or ancient Ireland and the household gods of our own age, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill reminds us that the power of myth lies in local and personal resurrections, such as the imaginary opening of her own great-grandmother's tomb, but also, more sinisterly, as modern-day reenactments of Queen Medbh's bloody cattle raids in sectarian reprisals. In Irish and English; translated by Medbh McGuckian and Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
