About Angus Peter Campbell
Aonghas Phàdraig Caimbeul / Angus Peter Campbell is a bilingual (Gàidhlig/English) writer. His poetry collection ‘Aibisidh’ won the Scottish Poetry Book of the Year Award in 2011, his novel ‘Memory and Straw’ the Saltire Scottish Fiction Book of the Year in 2017, and his Gaelic novel ‘Murdo ann am Marseille’ the Gaelic Fiction Book of the Year in 2022.
He is from South Uist, and a graduate in History and Politics from Edinburgh University. His recent novel ‘Donald and his Seven Cows’ has been reviewed by Hon Professor Alastair McIntosh as ‘a literary reinstatement of indigenous Gaelic cosmology, and the most significant literary ethnography from out of the South Uist faerie hill in modern times.’
He has just published a new bilingual poetry collection ‘Grian is Frasan/Sunshine and Showers’ which has been described by the poet Meg Bateman as ‘An exquisite collecion. Quite without dogma, these poems have the delicacy of bog-cotton and the luminousness of water-lilies.’
His second new book this year, now available is ‘Peggy and the Fairy Knolls’
