Synopsis

A distinguished collection of translated Gaelic poetry that surveys Ireland’s rich literary voice from ancient to more recent times. This volume presents poems drawn from Erinn’s poetic literature, rendered into English to reveal the original music, mood, and cultural world of the Gaels. Rich in history, it blends lyric songs, battle odes, lament, and spiritual pieces, with notes on verse technique and traditional forms.

- See how Gaelic poets used sound, rhythm, and varying line lengths to shape word-music.
- Explore an anthology that situates the poems within changing eras, from early lore to Christian dawn.
- Learn through introductory commentary and context about legends, bardic craft, and archival sources.
