Chan eil teagamh nach t脿inig ath-bhe貌thachadh air litreachas G脿idhlig anns na bliadhnaichean mu dheireadh, ach gu s貌nraichte a thaobh B脿rdachd Gh脿idhlig, air a chuideachadh leis a鈥� bhuaidh mh貌r a bh鈥� aig na b脿ird ainmeil, Somhairle MacGill-Eain, Ruaraidh MacTh貌mais, Iain Mac a鈥� Ghobhainn, D貌mhnall MacAmhlaigh agus De貌rsa Mac Iain Dhe貌rsa air saoghal na b脿rdachd.

Tha b脿rdachd air a bhith na ph脿irt chudromach de bheatha a鈥� chraoladair, Cathy NicDh貌mhnaill, bhos cuimhne leatha. Anns a鈥� phr貌gram seo, tha i a鈥� d猫anamh sgr霉dadh mionaideach air obair chuid de na b脿ird a tha air buaidh a thoirt oirre thairis air na bliadhnaichean, b脿ird a tha air sealladh 霉r a thoirt air an t-saoghal anns a鈥� ch脿nan m脿thaireil, br矛oghmhor aca fh猫in. Tha i a鈥� rannsachadh agus a鈥� cnuasachadh air na cuspairean mun robh iad a鈥� sgr矛obhadh, agus air a bheil iad a鈥� sgr矛obhadh fhathast, 鈥檚 i a鈥� sireadh freagairt air na dleastanasan a th鈥� air b脿ird an l脿 an-diugh.

There has without a doubt been a resurgence in Gaelic literature in recent years, but especially in relation to Gaelic poetry, not to mention the immense impact that well-known poets Sorley MacLean, Derick Thomson, Iain Crichton Smith, Donald MacAulay and George Campbell Hay had on the world of poetry.

Poetry has been an important part of broadcaster Cathy MacDonald鈥檚 life for as long as she can remember. She investigates the in-depth work of some of the poets that have influenced her over the years, poets who have in their mother tongue given a new perspective on the world. She researches and reflects on the subjects that they wrote about, and are still writing about, asking what role poets have in today鈥檚 society.

Cathy also visits the StAnza festival in St Andrews, the only event in Scotland that focuses solely on poetry, where four exceptional Gaelic poets exhibit their work.
