Struileag: Shore to Shore: Cladach Gu Cladach

Gaelic, now regarded as a minority language, was once spoken in almost every part of Scotland. The descendants of the Gaels are scattered far and wide across the world – a diaspora that is at once cherished and overlooked. This unique book brings vividly to life, in poetry and prose, the Gaelic experience as it was, is and might be. In exclusively commissioned poems and essays, leading Gaelic writers offer perspectives that are by turns innovative, inspiring, heartfelt and provocative. From Gaelic raps to secular psalms, love poems to aphorisms, ceilidhs to collateral damage via Western modernity, Shore to Shore memorably demonstrates editor Kevin MacNeil’s assertion that inside every culture is to be found the whole human condition.
