Colin Bramwell & Gerda Stevenson: Celebrating Aonghas Dubh

Aonghas MacNeacail (1942-2022) was a giant of Scottish letters, best known for his Gaelic poetry and passionate championing of that language. Lesser known are his English-language poems. Poets Colin Bramwell and Gerda Stevenson – leading writer, musician, and Aonghas’s widow – join Cathy MacDonald to talk about editing the posthumous collection, Beyond, and the luminous life of Aonghas Dubh (which translates as ‘Black Angus’).
