After his return from Japan, Rabindranath Tagore, the first Asian Nobel Laureate, brought out English versions of his own Bengali originals, a book not widely known in the West, Stray Birds (1916). These consist of poetic aphorisms, influenced by haiku, ranging in mood from joyous to contemplative, playful and innocent, profound and ecstatic. Ireland's leading translator, Gabriel Rosenstock, has produced exquisite Irish-language versions to match Tagore's timeless aphorisms, here earthy, there transcendent, in this special bilingual edition to mark the 150th anniversary of the great Bengali poet. Illustrated by renowned artist Ian Joyce.
