Struileag: Shore to Shore = Cladach gu Cladach

by Kevin MacNeil (Editor)

The descendants of the Gaels are scattered far and wide across the world – a diaspora that is at once cherished and overlooked. This unique, heartfelt book brings vividly to life through raps, secular psalms, love poems and aphorisms the Gaelic experience as it was, as it is and as it might be.

Shore to Shore/Cladach gu Cladach is a vital legacy of the multimedia project Struileag, at the heart of which lies poetry, and is a demonstration that inside every culture is to be found the whole human condition.

Reviews

[Nathaniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fiù ’s mur bu toil leam a h-uile dàn san leabhar seo, bhiodh e airidh air a bhith ga leughadh airson na feadhna le Mona NicLeòid Wagner a-mhàin, agus tha àireamh mhath eile ann a tha gu math inntinneach agus cumhachdach.

Cuideachd, tha an aiste le Mìcheal Klevenhaus, mar a thuirt mi na bu tràithe, gu math cudthromach airson luchd-ionnsachaidh nach buin do choimhearsnachd na Gàidhlig bho thùs.
