Full description for The Two Sides of the Pass

  • This is a unique, fully bilingual poetic dialogue between two poets who literally and figuratively inhabit two sides of a mountain pass. From the east side of the Trotternish Ridge on Skye comes the poetry of native prize-winning Gaelic poet Maoilios Caimbeul (Myles Campbell). On the west side of the ridge lives Mark O. Goodwin, English and an 'incomer' to Skye. The poems form a conversation between the two men and between their two cultural backgrounds - a conversation that not only illuminates many of the issues facing Scotland in the 21st century, but many cross-cultural divides around the globe. The project was completed in collaboration with critically acclaimed artist Eoghann MacColla, whose cover artwork and pencil drawings form an integral part of the work.
