Praise for Doireann Ní Ghríofa

“Ní Ghríofa is a poet through and through.” – New York Review of Books

“In the work of the Irish writer Doireann Ní Ghríofa, history is amorphous, a living thing that frequently bleeds into or interrupts the lives of those in the present day.” – The Paris Review

“[Her] poems excel in their consideration of motherhood, particularly its paradoxical losses and gains, separation and unity… long-considered obsessions are explored with tenderness and unflinching curiosity.” – Poetry Magazine

“Like [Eavan] Boland, Ní Ghríofa constructs a mysterious world for her readers from the matter of ordinary life. The poems… impress upon us that magic and depth can be found in the minutiae of the everyday.” – Poetry Ireland Review

“Ní Ghríofa is deeply attuned to the gaps, silences and mysteries in women’s lives” – New York Times
