Ceitidh Chaimbeul's book has been massive for us, and it is so encouraging to see Gaelic publishing thriving and being a part of it.

Great article from Ceitidh Chaimbeul.

"Poetry reminds pupils that language is more than a set of rules. It is a creative space where they discover themselves. Rather than fearing mistakes, they begin to play with words."

There is a lot quotable in this article!

"The destiny of a language is written anew...
..in every dàn each generation chooses to create."

Ahead of this year’s Wigtown Book Festival, which features a variety of events devoted to Gaelic poetry, prose and culture, bilingual poet Ceitidh Campbell discusses what makes a language truly alive
