Issue 6: Uniting Nations
Edited By V. Woolner, L. Whitaker and S. Wylie.
Welcome to our sixth issue of The Kelvingrove Review. We have a packed issue for you and our theme is ‘Uniting Nations’. As this is the first issue under the college restructuring it is extremely heartening to see that we have maintained the disciplinary breadth of arts and social sciences and, whether themed or not, all our reviews (and their contributors) demonstrate the potential of education and intellectual research as a uniting force that can transcend national or cultural boundaries. We hope you enjoy this edition.
D Sang u d Sailin Meyn |
The Song of the Sailing Men |
| D myoosic u dir voysis faaldit itae a laang-kerried kyist, t be kerried awaa boot d world eence ageyn. Dir wirds dir cergo: sailin awaa an fram t ungkin plaesis - Japan, Singapore, San Fran- Cisco - t seek common cadence we d wirds o iddir meyn awaa fae hame, choost d sam. Nae faurin tungs - d sangs u d sailin meyn windin tgidder, lik d straands o a twist a taerry raup, we d wirds u dir saat-waatir kin. |
The music of their voices folded into a well-travelled sea chest, to be carried away around the world once again. Their words were their cargo: Sailing away out to sea to foreign places - Japan, Singapore, San Fran- Cisco - to seek common cadence with the words of other men away from home, just the same. No foreign tongues - the songs of the sailing men winding together, like the strands of a twist of tarry rope, with the words of their salt-water kin. |
This poem, and its translation, was written by Mark Ryan Smith who is a PhD candidate in the Department of Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow.
