Gaelic poetry event – simultaneous translation will be available

Joy, sadness, spirituality and humour are all to be found in Donald’s latest collection, Eadar Ceòl is Corona. The poet assumes the role of a modern ‘bàrd baile’, providing insight on subjects ranging from his native Tiree to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beum Sgeithe is the first collection from award-winning poet, Eoghan Stewart, whose work is at once traditional and modern, combining images of the natural world with subjects including politics, culture, love and death.

Feasgar de bhàrdachd Ghàidhlig còmhla ri Dòmhnall Meek agus Eòghan Stiùbhart

Tha bròn is aoibhneas, meòrachadh domhain, seallaidhean spioradail, gruaim is gàire is fealla-dhà uile rin lorg sa chruinneachadh ùr aig Dòmhnall, Eadar Ceòl is Coròna. Coltach ri bàrd baile, tha Dòmhnall a’ toirt iomradh air farsaingeachd de chuspairean bho Thiriodh gu galar mòr-sgaoilte COVID-19.

’S e Beum Sgeithe a’ chiad chruinneachadh bho bhàrd, Eòghan Stiùbhart. Na bhroinn, tha bàrdachd a tha aig an aon àm, traidiseanta agus ùr-nòsach, a’ cur còmhla ìomhaighean bho nàdair agus cuspairean leithid poilitigs, cultar, gaol agus bàs.
