DÃ n nam Ban / Fate of Women is the debut collection from award winning bilingual Gaelic English poet, singer and teacher Ceitidh Chaimbeul.
The collection is rooted in Ceitidh's heritage from the Isle of Raasay and Midlothian and plaits the stories of women of folklore, local history, family and her own experience as a mother. DÃ n nam Ban shows how the ripples of the past lap on the shores of the present. It tackles hard hitting subjects of Alzheimers', child death and moves seamlessly into bedtime stories, love and sex.
This book provides a voice to women's stories across generations, highlighting both historical and contemporary issues. The primary themes include folklore, family history, motherhood, and the impact of the past on the present. The focus is on women's experiences, both personal and communal, and how these narratives shape our understanding of identity and heritage.
DÃ n nam Ban by Ceitidh Chaimbeul is a much anticipated first collection from a writer who was the Scottish Poetry Library's first Gaelic ambassador.
Bha e na thlachd dhomh an cruinneachadh seo a leughadh. Tha Ceitidh Chaimbeul air bà rdachd air leth tarraingeach a sgrìobhadh a dh'fhuiricheas nad chuimhne fada an dèidh dhut an leabhar a dhùnadh. Seo agaibh guth là idir, smiorail, cinnteach, anns a bheil sgeul nam ban ga h-innse gu h-ealanta.
