Longlisted for the Highland Book Prize 2020
Winner of the Poetry Award at the Gaelic Literature Awards 2020
These poems probe the ‘natural order of things’, and what it means to explore knowledge, power, memory and play, in words that are time-charged and skittish, words that jib at being claimed by anyone. It’s probably a political book, but is almost certainly out-of-date; it’s probably some kind of warning, but without a clear sense about what.
“Peter Mackay is one of the brightest and most provocative minds in the world of Gaelic literature today”- Kevin MacNeil
