This is a collection of Robert Allan Jamieson's Shetlandic poetry spanning the entirety of his writing life. It contains both original poetry and poetry in translation from many of the marginal or disappearing languages of the world, including Hungarian, Greek, Icelandic, Catalan and Turkish. There is also lengthy essay exploring the value of writing in Shetlandic. An English translation is included for the essay and all of the poems.
Luath Press takes its name from Robert Burns, whose little collie Luath (Gael., swift or nimble) tripped up Jean Armour at a wedding and gave him the chance to speak to the woman who was to be his wife and the abiding love of his life. Burns called one of The Twa Dogs Luath after Cuchullin's hunting dog in Ossian's Fingal . Luath Press was established in 1981 in the heart of Burns country, and is now based a few steps up the road from Burns' first lodgings on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Luath offers you distinctive writing with a hint of unexpected pleasures.
