Between the Echoes Book Launch
(Wed 27 May: 4pm)
A compelling and sensitive new book by Angus Macmillan, the well-known Lewis-born poet and writer and member of The Lochies folk group. It describes his upbringing in the Gaelic-speaking crofting village of Lemreway, viewed through the prisms of the four elements – earth, air, fire and water – to explore how we come to understand a sense of place, home and belonging. The lived experiences he so beautifully evokes through poetic narratives are then viewed from psychological and philosophical perspectives which speak to universal concerns about social cohesion that resonate beyond the boundaries of the islands: the lures and traps of nostalgia – what we can and cannot return to, in the context of social change and the passage of time.
