Laughing at the Clock / Deanamh Gaire Ris A' Chloc by Aonghas Macneacail

Widely regarded as the foremost poet writing today in the Gaelic language, MacNeacail casts his eye on love, aging, memory, language, politics and landscape in this masterful bilingual collection. Demonstrating MacNeacail's usual tight mastery of form and beautifully controlled rhythm, this collection, published to mark the poet's seventieth birthday, is a celebration of the best of contemporary Scottish poetry.

'Excellent reading - Aonghas Dubh remains as creative as ever'
