Chatting to @paulmalgrati.bsky.social is a pleasure always, this time a special treat to do so for his podcast for Scottish words & ideas, @thecarryingstream.bsky.social. The episode features a new Gaelic poem of mine, 'Na Crainn', which took shape between Daoulaz in Brittany, Aberdeen, and Prague.
This episodeβs guest is Dr Petra Johana PoncarovΓ‘, a native speaker of Czech who has become a distinguished scholar of Gaelic literature and an award-winning poet in Gaelic. π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώπ¨πΏ
Petraβs perspective is totally unique, and Iβm very glad to share this conversation with you.
