Pharaoh’s Daughter
Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill
Translated from Gaelic by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill
Pharaoh's Daughter, by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, is a Gaelic poetry collection from Ireland, translated by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, published by Wake Forest University Press. It is an Irish Gaelic collection by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, self-translated here, that brings myth, gender, and language inheritance into intimate contact. Ní Dhomhnaill's work often makes old figures feel startlingly present, as though myth were not behind us but breathing through the room. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation. It is the chance to let a particular book create its own weather, its own difficulty, and its own way of asking the reader to listen.
