- Summary
- This collection of contemporary Celtic language poets offers a first comprehensive look in English at poets from Wales, Brittany, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, and Isle of Man writing in Welsh, Breton, Scottish Gaelic, irish Gaelic, Cornish and Manx. In tone, these voices are as sensitive as they are subversive. They mirror the struggle and resiliency of a century of language activist-writers who have defied attempts at cultural genocide by the English and the French - and have continued to write and speak their languages. The result of that staying power is evidenced in a ground swell of literary activity during the last half of the 20th century in all six Celtic countries represented in this book. These are the "New Celts", the progency of hundreds of years of ancient cultural tradition, yet a modern as anything being written anywhere in the world. -- Publisher description
