The Gaelic rings =: Cearcaill na Gàidhligh : experience a Gaelic-rich journey throughout the Hebridean Islands and West Highland mainland

Campbell, Angus Peter

Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar

Angus Peter Campbell is one of Scotland's most respected contemporary poets. Aibisidh, his latest poetry collection, written in Gaelic and English, is a powerful and sharp-eyed examination of the fragmentation of language and identity in our modern global age. Memories, both wry and tender, of Campbell's native South Uist are at the core of this collection, though the poet's eye ranges widely – from bookstalls by the Seine, to paintings in Bonn, to music played in the former USSR. Through personal invocations of love to witty political allegories, Angus Peter Campbell considers the ways in which the dissolution of certainties challenges us to discover new connections – between individuals, communities and cultures.

<p>This selected works of Sorley MacLean brings together published poetry from MacLean's own edited volumes of Poetry. The poems will be given in their original Gaelic with English translations and introduced by Angus Peter Campbell and Aonghas Mac Neacail. Sorley MacLean was born on the island of Raasay in 1911. He was brought up within a family and community immersed in Gaelic language and culture, particularly song. He studied English at Edinburgh University from 1929, taking a first-class honours degree. Despite this influence, he eventually adopted Gaelic as the medium most appropriate for his poetry. He translated much of his own work into English, opening it up to a wider public. He fought in North Africa during World War II, before taking up a career in teaching, holding posts on Mull, in Edinburgh and finally as Head Teacher at Plockton High School. Amongst other awards and honours, he received the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 1990. He died in 1996 at the age of 85.</p>
