The first edition was published in simultaneous paperback and hardback editions, on 11th November 1993. In this volume, esteemed Irish poet Michael Hartnett translates into the English language most of the poems of Pádraigín Haicéad (1600-1654), or Patrick Hackett in English, an Irish-language poet and Dominican priest. Haicéad, together with Dáibhí Ó Bruadair and Aogán Ó Rathaille, was considered one of the most important poets of the Gaelic tradition, a tradition Hartnett himself 'desperately' wanted to join (McDonagh and Newman, 2006). A former poetry editor of The Irish Times, Hartnett was a member of Aosdána, the Affiliation of Creative Artists in Ireland, and a recipient of numerous literary and poetry awards during his lifetime, including the Irish Poetry Prize (1980), a Poetry Ireland Choice (1987), and awards from the Irish American Cultural Institute (1986, 1988) and the American Ireland Literary Fund Award (1975, 1980, and 1990). Michael Hartnett sadly passed away on 13th October 1999, at the age of 58. The Éigse Michael Hartnett, a poetry festival established in 2000, is held annually in Newcastle West, County Limerick, in his honour (Poetry Foundation, 2025).

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author and the translators. Hardcover issue. Publisher's original black cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in the Mary Fitzgerald illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents are clean throughout, and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. Complete with fine original dustwrapper that is without fading, loss, or tears. Not price-clipped (£14.95 on the front flap). Signed by the author and both translators in black and blue ink on the title page. The first edition was published in simultaneous paperback and hardback editions, on 28th October 1999. The title of this collection comes from the water spirit in Irish folklore 'Each-uisce', literally meaning 'water horse'. This shapeshifting figure usually first appears as a handsome young man whose true form is later revealed as a horse, similar to a kelpie, but is known for being far more vicious. The Each-uisce has a particular preference for devouring human women, a trope which features in Ní Dhomhnaill's poem (on p. 26 in this volume). Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill is a prolific and award-winning Irish language poet, and is internationally recognised as one of the few female Irish poets who write exclusively in Irish. She has been described as being a major influence in revitalizing the Irish language in modern poetry, with her works being translated into English by a number of well-known Irish poets, including Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, and Medbh McGuckian (Wake Forest University Press, 2011; Poetry Foundation, 2025).

Award-winning Northern Irish poet, novelist, and translator Ciaran Carson (1948-2019) published 15 volumes of poetry and a number of books about The Troubles during his prolific career. In 2004, he became the first director of the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry at Queen's University Belfast until his retirement in 2016. This position was a natural fit for Carson, as Heaney was one of his tutors at Queen's during his undergraduate years. A longstanding member of Aosdána, the Affiliation of Creative Artists in Ireland, Carson's influences also included Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Keats, Borges, Calvino, Flann O'Brien, and Alberto Manguel (The Guardian, 2019).
