My Gaelic poems have appeared in Aimsir and New Writing Scotland. In 2025, I received a New Writers’ Award (Scottish Book Trust & Gaelic Books Council).
Chaidh na dàin agam fhoillseachadh ann an Aimsir agus New Writing Scotland. Ann an 2025, choisinn mi Duais nan Sgrìobhadairean Ùra (Urras Leabhraichean na h-Alba & Comhairle nan Leabhraichean).
