Writing the Wind: A Celtic Resurgence

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Crowe, Thomas R. / Hubbard, Tom / Denez, Gwendal, PUBLISHER: New Native Press, A comprehensive look in English at poets from Wales, Brittany, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall and the Isle of Man. Along with poets who are legendary and household names in their native countries, such as Sorley MacLean, Bobi Jones and Anjela Duval, are more than fifty of the new young voices of modern Celtic literature.

In this they mirror the struggle and resiliency of a century of language activist-writers who have defied the 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 twentieth century in all six Celtic countries represented in this book.
