The Coast Road, from named places - Galway and Harlem, Antarctica and Kilmalkedar - to imagined states, including 'he madhouse behind the moon', is a book of uncommon range and searing effect. Among its themes are language and languages, their failure and throes, end silence too. In its variety of responses the book may be read as a guide to the possibilities of translation itself. In it, some of Ireland's finest poets gather to spread the word and introduce a vital voice to a wider audience.
