Thornton examines each in detail to show how individual and collective Tlingit notions of place, being, and identity are

There are few landscapes in the western world more bewitching than the mountain glens of the Scottish Highlands and the scattered islands of the Hebrides.

There are verses composed by gentle scholar saints, incantations and stirring panegyrics by the Gaelic bards, Jacobite songs and satires, laments inspired by love and exile, and great poems from the recent renaissance in the Gàidhealtachd, which address subjects that will resonate with anybody familiar w
