Dàin Do Shomhairle / Poems For Sorley

Sorley MacLean was the greatest Gaelic poet of the twentieth century. As Alasdair Macrae says in his foreword to this tribute, MacLean's poetry travelled far and passionately, 'radiating from Skye and the West Highlands to the whole of Europe'. A fascinating collection of eleven specially commissioned poems in Gaelic and English on the occasion of the centenary of Sorley MacLean's birth, this beautifully produced pamphlet includes work by Meg Bateman, Robert Crawford, Rody Gorman, Seamus Heaney and Jackie Kay.

Shortlisted for the 2012 Callum Macdonald Memorial Award.
