Synopsis
The Astrakhan Cloak offers poems selected from Feis, N Dhomhnaill's collection in Irish, and translated by Paul Muldoon. N Dhomhnaill's skillful negotiations between the forms, fables, and idioms of an older Ireland and the commodity culture, depth-psychology, and Eurospeak of modern Ireland are disclosed by the playful, accurate language of Muldoon who has been called the "most charismatic poet" of the British Isles.
