Reviews

Throughout the book, Shay's close reading of Ni Dhomhnaill's work is both clear and insightful. Her careful research provides a deeper understanding and appreciation of the rich world of Ni Dhomhnaill's aesthetic vision. Ni Dhomhnaill's unique development of the tradition of Irish language poetry and her creative assimilation of Irish oral culture have made her a major figure in contemporary poetry, and the first Irish language poet to gain an international following. Her work deserves more scholarly attention, and Of Mermaids and Others is a laudable first step in that direction. (Adrienne Leavy, Reading Ireland Vol. 4 Issue 1 2018)
