Bàrd, File, Bardd : Ifor Ap Glyn – Graen

Literature

Bàrd, File, Bardd is a new digital poetry collaboration which brings together poets from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to share and explore the links and dynamics of the Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic languages. The title combines the word for ‘poet’ in the three featured languages.

The fruit of the collaboration is a collection of nine new video poems exploring contemporary themes written and performed by three poets, one from each country.
The poets collaborating on the project are National Poet of Wales Ifor ap Glyn, Dublin City University Writer in Residence and Ambassador for Áras na Scríbhneoirí Ciara Ní É, and the writer, broadcaster and lecturer at University of St Andrews Pàdraig Mac Aoidh. During their collaboration, the three poets have explored the different perspectives of the Welsh and Irish and Scottish Gaelic languages. Their work also explores identities and how these languages continue to evolve and adapt to the modern world.
The project is led by Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich in association with Literature Wales and Scottish Poetry Library, and in collaboration with Yr Egin and Poetry Ireland.
