Sradagan san Iarmailt
Edited By Marcas Mac an Tuairneir
This wide-ranging anthology showcases the talented cohort of Gaelic poets who have come to prominence since the turn of the millennium. Contributors engage with political and social concerns, women’s and LGBTQ identities, local, multicultural, and international perspectives, alongside explorations of history, cultural exchange, love, land and language. Their oeuvre spans free verse, vibrant re-imaginings of traditional poetry and song forms, nature poetry, urban lyrics and panegyrics.
