“Hymn to a Young Demon” is a heady burst of fresh air, with poems in both Gaelic and the poet’s own English versions. It is a book which falls eloquently in two parts–‘the gift of anger’ and ‘the other turning’–articulated by the furious energy and irrepressible zest for life that readers of Aonghas MacNeacail’s work will instantly recognize.
PENning, the Writers in Exile Committee’s biannual online journal, presents work by Scottish PEN’s member-writers alongside writing from people living in Scotland who are from other parts of the world.
