        <abstract language="eng"><![CDATA[ This paper aims at showing in what way The Irish for No is both a testimony, a record of events as witnessed by the poet and a means of transcending a fundamentally monstrous reality through the power of words. Carson’s writing is first and foremost a writing of violence, which uncovers an uncommon reality dominated by suffering, madness or death. The normative representation gives way to a form of representation of excess, which is bound to be confronted by limitations, but which the poet-chronicler’s voice allows to reconcile by means of the metaphor.
