Airtins - Socialism, Scots and the Tao Te Ching

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

'Airtins' means directions - in these poems, Hershaw re-imagines the moral guidance in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, applying a similar outlook to the modern problems of poverty, inequality and wars. Hershaw uses the vivid, demotic cadences of the Scots language to express a vision of a practical, green and spiritual socialism.
