Description
Aonghas Macneacail's latest work is a collection of English-language poetry that marks his return to the literary sphere after a long period of absence. This book aims to correct the perception of him as a Gaelic writer, highlighting his polyglot nature and the interconnectedness of Scottish languages. Macneacail's own words underscore the importance of language in his work: "my language [will] embrace / its sister tongue". The poet's use of English is not separate from his Gaelic work, but rather an integral part of a broader linguistic hybridity that defines him and much of Scottish literature today. This book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of languages and cultures in Scotland. Through his poetry, Macneacail explores themes of identity, community, and the power of language to bring people together. With its thoughtful exploration of the complexities of language and culture, this collection is an important contribution to the literary landscape.
