It includes recognized masterpieces, the early 'Afterlives' and 'A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford', two extended sequences, 'New York Time' and 'Decadence', meditations such as 'Harbour Lights' and 'Dreams of a Summer Night', the heartrending 'Monochrome' and his windfall collections, Against the Clock and Washing Up, the latter completed in the weeks before his death last year. The book records, with formal panache and imaginative sweep, his native province's 'Troubles', his personal travails and urgent concerns for the health of our planet. At once classical and current, these poems speak to their moments. The book culminates in 'the serenity / which for a lifetime had eluded' him."

First edition, first printing. Hardcover issue. Publisher's original black cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in the Michael Kane illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout, and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with fine original dustwrapper that is without fading, loss, or tears. Not price-clipped (£11.95 to the lower front flap). The first edition was published in simultaneous paperback and hardback editions, on 11th November 1993. In this volume, esteemed Irish poet Michael Hartnett translates into the English language most of the poems of Pádraigín Haicéad (1600-1654), or Patrick Hackett in English, an Irish-language poet and Dominican priest. Haicéad, together with Dáibhí Ó Bruadair and Aogán Ó Rathaille, was considered one of the most important poets of the Gaelic tradition, a tradition Hartnett himself 'desperately' wanted to join (McDonagh and Newman, 2006). A former poetry editor of The Irish Times, Hartnett was a member of Aosdána, the Affiliation of Creative Artists in Ireland, and a recipient of numerous literary and poetry awards during his lifetime, including the Irish Poetry Prize (1980), a Poetry Ireland Choice (1987), and awards from the Irish American Cultural Institute (1986, 1988) and the American Ireland Literary Fund Award (1975, 1980, and 1990). Michael Hartnett sadly passed away on 13th October 1999, at the age of 58. The Éigse Michael Hartnett, a poetry festival established in 2000, is held annually in Newcastle West, County Limerick, in his honour (Poetry Foundation, 2025).

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author and the translators. Hardcover issue. Publisher's original black cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in the Mary Fitzgerald illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents are clean throughout, and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. Complete with fine original dustwrapper that is without fading, loss, or tears. Not price-clipped (£14.95 on the front flap). Signed by the author and both translators in black and blue ink on the title page. The first edition was published in simultaneous paperback and hardback editions, on 28th October 1999. The title of this collection comes from the water spirit in Irish folklore 'Each-uisce', literally meaning 'water horse'. This shapeshifting figure usually first appears as a handsome young man whose true form is later revealed as a horse, similar to a kelpie, but is known for being far more vicious. The Each-uisce has a particular preference for devouring human women, a trope which features in Ní Dhomhnaill's poem (on p. 26 in this volume). Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill is a prolific and award-winning Irish language poet, and is internationally recognised as one of the few female Irish poets who write exclusively in Irish. She has been described as being a major influence in revitalizing the Irish language in modern poetry, with her works being translated into English by a number of well-known Irish poets, including Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, and Medbh McGuckian (Wake Forest University Press, 2011; Poetry Foundation, 2025).

First edition, first printing. Hardcover issue. Publisher's original black cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in the Sir John Lavery illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents are clean throughout, and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the fine original dustwrapper that is without fading, loss, or tears. Not price-clipped (£25.00 to the front flap). The first edition was published in simultaneous paperback and hardback editions, on 30 November 1999. Widely regarded as one of the most talented and innovative Irish poets of the late 20th century, Derek Mahon was best known for illuminating the ordinary aspects of daily life through his skillfully crafted verse. A recipient of numerous literary and poetry prizes in his lifetime, Mahon's poetry has been critically compared to that of Auden, MacNeice, and Beckett. He passed away peacefully at age 78 in County Cork, Ireland in 2020 (Poetry Foundation, 2025). This updated edition brings together, as the jacket copy states, the work the author 'wishes to preserve' from the work of forty years. Further revision was made for Mahon's later collection 'New Collected Poems' (2011), which reissued the poet's works in 'new form'. As Hugh Haughton notes in his fine study of the poet (Oxford, 2010), such wording suggests that for Mahon revision was "not only a question of his critical conscience, but a desire to re-situate [.] past work in the cultural present."
