A' Ruith Eadar Da Dhragon : Running Between Two Dragons

In this unique, award-winning collection, Màrtainn Mac an t-Saoir leads us on a compelling, lyrical and closely-observed journey to Catalonia, Wales and Mallorca. The time-span, 2019–20, tells of a world and ways of living poised to change overnight.

Màrtainn’s acute sensitivity captures aspects of this evolving health crisis and much more – climate, landscape, politics, language, culture, leisure, friendship, love and family.

These fifty-two evocative, tightly-crafted, poems in Gaelic and English sit comfortably and communicate openly with their Catalan and Welsh renderings. The attention, skill and poetic sensibilities of Noèlia Díaz-Vicedo and Ifor ap Glyn made that possible.

‘A’ Ruith Eadar Dà Dhràgon’ is a first for Scottish literature!
