Wonderful news!
The new Makar is the excellent Peter McKay. I could not be more pleased. He’s a fine poet and delightful person. This is a great day for Gaelic culture and literature. I wish him every success. www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poetry/scotl...

New issue of Cyphers poetry magazine (no 98) has just landed in which I review poet Susannah Dickey’s ISDAL. Might be time to take a break from reviewing for a while as this one nearly broke me.
