In his response to The Coast Road, her previous bilingual collection, in Poetry Ireland Review, Proinsias Ó Drisceoil concluded: ‘This book places Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh at the core of contemporary poetry in Ireland.’ This Deep builds on that collection’s accomplishment. The translators include two saoithe of Aosdána, Paul Muldoon and Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, three other poets published by The Gallery Press, Alvy Carragher, Alan Gillis and Michelle O’Sullivan, and Billy Ramsell.

In her observations on Tonn Teaspaigh, the source of the original poems in This Deep, Daniela Theinová wrote the ‘close association between the private and the public realm does not only follow from the poems’ thematic span, but reflects the book’s primary theme and concern, which is love. Regardless of whether this love manifests itself as a reassuring warmth or oppressive heat, joyous wonder or insistent worry, it always cuts right into life’s real core.’
