Description

This indispensable anthology contains selections of the best work by Scotland's most acclaimed modern Gaelic poets: Sorley Maclean, George Campbell Hay, Iain Crichton Smith, Derick Thomson and Donald MacAulay. Designed as much for English readers of Gaelic, the poems are presented in parallel texts with line-for-line translations. These translations have been made by the poets themselves, thereby maximising the retention of the spirit and form of the originals.
