Dàn nam Ban

Dàn nam Ban by Ceitidh Chaimbeul is a much anticipated first collection from a writer who was the Scottish Poetry Library’s first Gaelic ambassador.

Dàn 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. Dàn 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.
