Item description from seller

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).
