A leading contemporary Irish-language poet (Gabriel Rosenstock) goes in search of the poet who haunts him, the Austrian Georg Trakl 1887-1914. Several years after translating Trakl into Irish, Rosenstock’s is a physical and spiritual journey to the grave of the one whose thoughts and words have replaced his own.
