Can gun robh / What if - Gaelic Poetry
A ground-breaking anthology. Though Gaelic tradition is rich in nursery rhymes and songs, and in fine Gaelic poets, both ancient and modern, young Gaelic-speakers have never enjoyed a corpus of stimulating, amusing, inspiring, challenging, irreverent, heart-stopping poetry written specially with them in mind.
This collection encompasses many styles and sources, and tackles subjects which have never been addressed in Gaelic before.
Many different voices are heard – men, women and children, from the Gàidhealtachd and (in translation) from across the world (Lowland Scotland, the USA, Africa, the Far East…) all inviting the young reader to look at the world with new eyes.
