Let The Hare Sit

Much-admired as “one of the most innovative and interesting voices in
contemporary Irish language poetry” (Doireann Ní Ghríofa), Ní Bheildiúin is the author of a rich, myth-informed, yet entirely earthed body of work in which she can describe a school of beached whales as “huge, songless shapes” and address Mount Brandon with such simplicity and directness (“I am too long hardened. Brandon, / have you hardened? And your heart?”) that we almost expect to hear the response.
