MORVERN lines
I WAS a bit sorry – no, disappointed – to see that no one in the Gaelic heartland of Argyll, so renowned for its music and song, drew attention to or, as far as I know, contributed to last week’s National Poetry Day, especially so close to the Royal National Mod.
National Poetry Day, the mass celebration of poetry and all things poetical, fell on Thursday October 6. It takes place annually in the UK and Ireland on a Thursday in late September/early October. Since its inception, it has engaged millions of people across the country with live events, classroom activities and broadcasts.
