The Girl Who Married The Reindeer

Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin

3.8/5 ( ratings)

In The Girl Who Married the Reindeer, Eilean Ni Chuilleanain radically redesigns the language and form of poetic narrative. In poems about journeys to worlds real and metaphorical, she reveals deft crossings of borders, linguistic boundaries, and cultures, from the sepulchre of Lazarus to the web of a spider who makes her own new centre every day. Beginning mid-journey, the poems often arrive at mysterious destinations. Throughout the volume, Ni Chuilleanain displaces the finger posts of narrative which is redefined of a traveler s productive strayings and even self-exiles: I follow the road that follows the lie of the land.
