This is the first anthology of prose and poetry--mostly literary, some more "historical" in tone--to give voice to the experience of Gaelic Canadians, about a broad set of themes: migration, politics, religion, identity, family life, identity, social organizations and more."--
Notes: The author contextualizes specific Gaelic works, recounts them, and offers a translation.
