Nuala Ni Chonchuir

Tattoo : Tatu Nuala Ni Chonchuir Irish, Bilingual edition

In this bilingual collection, Tattoo, the hidden stories of both famous and ordinary women are teased out in crafted, often wry, poems: Virginia Woolf's dying moments in Virginia's Last Walk, a woman's arranged marriage in Cleamhnas 1933. Nuala Ní Chonchúir works on the economy of language and, in her poetry, tone and sense meld seamlessly with her incisive, fresh word choices.
