This Is Yarrow (Paperback)

The poems in Dublin-born poet and translator Tara Bergin’s debut collection combine sensuous lyricism with the unsettling familiarity of folklore, fairy tale, and dream. They are inhabited by characters who seem at first widely different from one another yet share nervous energy and a troubled state of mind. Bergin gathers language from a wide range of sources and places to create a music and vision entirely her own.
