Derick Thomson is celebrated as a poet, but in the new book An Staran Petra J. Poncarová demonstrates his exceptional prose writing, including essays, short stories and reviews.
This collection contains every published Gaelic short story of Thomson’s that has been found so far, as well as a selection of writing that appeared in Gairm, the periodical Thomson established with Finlay John MacDonald: reviews of books that caught Thomson’s attention, travel writing from Canada and the Nordics, thought pieces, and essays on Gaelic and politics.
Petra Johana Poncarová is a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Glasgow. In 2024 she published the monograph Derick Thomson and the Gaelic Revival and she is currently working on a project dedicated to Ruaraidh Erskine of Mar. She is involved in the management of the International Association for the Study of Scottish Literatures and in the National Centre for Gaelic Translation. She is an editor for Glasgow Review of Books and she translates works of Gaelic literature directly into Czech. She was awarded a New Writers Award by Scottish Book Trust in 2025.
The multi-lingual poet Shane Johnstone will be chairing this event.

Seonag Monk
In 1940, in Barra in the Outer Hebrides, an 18-year-old woman, Flòraidh, is persuaded to leave her island home when she learns that her stepmother intends to marry her off to the local shopkeeper. She follows her enigmatic friend Lavinia to the city and changes her identity to Laura, like a butterfly, leaving her chrysalis behind, as they join the war effort.
