The Gr\u00e1inne compositions place Gr\u00e1inne at different points in her life and also situate her in a mediaeval past and a borrowed future via her dreams, or <em>aislings<\/em>. Interspersed with these compositions are \u2018rescued\u2019 poems. I chose 17 texts connected to Gr\u00e1inne \u2013 a selection of factual or fictional biographies of her and a small number of contemporary historical texts \u2013 from which I rescued 50 poems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isn&#8217;t the cover gorgeous?

I requested that it wouldn&#8217;t feature the usual pirate queen image bandied around whenever Grace O&#8217;Malley is illustrated, and Siobh\u00e1n did a wonderful job with an abstract image that suggests movement and sea and waves without hitting us over the head with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can buy the book directly from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salmonpoetry.com\/details.php?ID=623&amp;a=382\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Salmon Poetry<\/a> website.
