Pharaoh's Daughter presents forty-five of Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill's remarkable poems with translations into English by thirteen of Ireland's most eminent writers. It, and the other bilingual titles originated and published first by The Gallery Press (The Astrakhan Cloak and The Water Horse), secured her reputation in Ireland and paved the way for her current international profile.

This collection testifies to a good-natured conspiracy on the part of certain Irish poets to present one of their number to a wider audience . . . in her hands, the language takes on an elan and flexibility which are thoroughly inspiring — and she has been well-served by her translators, who've all kept in mind the exacting balance between fidelity and inventiveness which makes for effective translation .
