News at Eleven: Translations are of course done,

but if they are poems they are different poems from the originals.

APC [Angus Peter Campbell] has taken this point to heart, and his English poems vary culturally from their Gaelic versions.

Title poem Aibisidh is a list of titles of songs and music.

In the English version they are English, American and European snatches.

In the Gaelic version they are Celtic music.

So the concept led to a separate poem in each language.

from Stirling Observer: Aibisidh by Angus Peter Campbell
