Among the remarkable characteristics of Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin’s poetry is its consistent excellence over nearly sixty years. Certain poems have entered the canon of Irish poetry. Her publishing career has been embellished with awards and honours at home and around the world. New Selected Poems represents generously each of her ten collections and culminates in a series of powerful new poems confirming that she is, simply, one of the finest poets at work today.
'One of Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin's great gifts is her ability to bring readers, repeatedly and miraculously, to that threshold where all the intractable portals — of language, history, familial love — seem somehow ready to open again, letting in the light. Few contemporary writers possess her peculiar, and utterly distinctive, sense of the poem's inner grace, or have access to that soft core her words so delicately reveal, radiating outward to infuse life with meaning.'
