#makar — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Many congratulations to Dr Peter Mackay/Pàdraig MacAoidh, the new Scottish Makar & the first Gaelic poet to hold the position. In 2018 we were fortunate enough to be able to publish his poem “Geographical Exclusions Apply” in With Their Best Clothes On: New Writing Scotland 36

Changed days: just a couple of years ago I watched the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, chair the national Makar at the Paisley Book Festival, & we thought how lucky to have a govt lead by someone who values literature...

Now that Makar has penned a poem decrying the SNP breaking their promise & cutting arts funding (sorry, it's from Birdsite, but worth listening to) https://twitter.com/KathleenJamie/status/1707441350126243952

Poem of the day: Inspired by the just-discovered work of Scots children's author @SusiBriggsAuthor.

Robert Garioch's 'Quiet Passage', mostly for the romance, the narrow passage shape of the verse, and the use of the word "quietlenwise" #nomoa #scots #poetry #makar #edinburgh #robertgarioch #embro #quietlenwise

I'm a #writer #poet in Scots and I know that Scotland should have our freedom again. Just now I'm translating into Scots a 138k word #novel that I wrote in English a few years ago, aiming to #publish it myself. The book's story is below.
