Description:
As Scotland's Makar (national poet), Pàdraig MacAoidh (Peter Mackay) crafts verse that resonates with the landscapes and languages of his native Lewis. Blending Gaelic tradition with contemporary concerns, his acclaimed work explores identity, belonging and cultural memory with striking originality. A powerful performer and advocate for minority languages, Mackay's readings are both intimate and electrifying. Join him for a fascinating discussion on poetry's role in today’s world, the interplay between Gaelic and Scots traditions, and what it means to be Scotland's poetic voice today.
