Aonghas' wife Gerda Stevenson, herself an actress and writer, will be in conversation with Makar Peter Mackay for this special event for Book Week Scotland. Look forward to a lively chat about Glasgow in the 70s, life on the Isle of Skye, the struggle for Scottish independence, and the future of Gaelic poetry in Scotland.
Following the talk, explore a selection of books from Aonghas' personal library—including a collection of his poems inscribed by Alasdair!
