Famhair/Giant

$15.95

No contemporary work from a sole author of Gaelic poetry from the Nova Scotia perspective been published in this province – until now. Cultural identity, sense of place and expression are important elements in the work of any artist. This book of contemporary Nova Scotia Gaelic poetry spans the landscape of Gaelic Cape Breton, the eastern Nova Scotia mainland and indeed the broader collective consciousness of Nova Scotians within the confines of their own province and in the wider, diverse, multi-ethnic, North American reality.

Description

Gaelic can be viewed as a living language; it is not a relic of a romanticized community of the past. Both living and deceased, Nova Scotia Gaelic poets have added to the store of Gaelic literature in this province, and some of these offer a contemporary perspective, but to date, no complete volume has been created and provided to a wider public audience.

Thus, Famhair: a Nova Scotia Gaelic book of contemporary poetry spanning the cultural landscapes of Gaelic Cape Breton, the eastern Nova Scotia mainland, the Halifax Gaelic community and the broader collective consciousness of Nova Scotians.
