The Brindled Cat and the Nightingale's Tongue

Louis de Paor is one of Ireland's leading Irish-language poets, and was a key figure in the Irish language literary renaissance of the 1970s and 80s. This new bilingual selection of his poetry eschews the fashion for so-called ""versions,"" creating English translations that are as close as possible to the original Irish poems without sacrificing their tone, clarity, energy, and lightness of touch.
