Through lyrical conversations, readers are transported to a vivid world filled with sensory experiences like plum blossoms and courtesans' perfume. The poems evoke an ancient landscape marked by war, drought, and plague, resonating with contemporary issues. Both the original Irish and the English translations by Gary Bannister capture the beauty and depth of Rosenstock's work, creating a celestial connection through exquisite language.
