Description

Vona Groarke’s version of ‘Lament of the Hag of Beare’ from 9th century Irish draws on contemporary experience of the ageing female body, its desires and accommodations; its occlusions and slightings. Isabel Nolan’s exquisite illustrations evoke the speaker of the poem in vital youth and vivid old age.
