Polygon, 2011. 150 pages. Paperback.
Angus Peter Campbell is one of Scotland’s most respected contemportary poets. Aibisidh, his poetry collection, written in Gaelic and English, is a powerful and sharp-eyed examination of the fragmentation of language and identity in our modern global age. Memories, both wry and tender, of Campbell’s native South Uist are at the core of this collection, though the poet’s eye ranges widely – from bookstalls by the Seine, to paintings in Bonn, to music played in the former USSR. Whether writing tender love poems or witty political allegories, Angus Peter Campbell deftly considers the ways in which the dissolution of certainties challenges us to discover new connections – between individuals, communities and cultures.
