Ag Dreapadh na Spéire / Climbing the Sky
Fascinated by the hoary knowledge its placenames might hold, the poet and her personae walk the misty contours, crevices and cliff edges of Mount Brandon, interrogating with their feet and honed senses. This poetry collection is the consequence of the poet’s steadfast engagement with Brandon Mountain over the course of two decades. The resulting poems celebrate the mountain’s bulk and presence as well as the accepted sense of sacredness that has haloed over it since time immemorial. Ag Dreapadh na Spéire / Climbing the Sky is a bilingual version of an earlier work Agallamh sa Cheo, Cnoc Bhréanainn, an award-winning Irish language compilation presented here with vibrant new English translations by David Knowles.
