The stars are the map I unfurl: a poem about Gerry Hughes in BSL, Shetlandic and English

An excerpt from a BSL poem by Gary Quinn, celebrating the first deaf round-the-world solo yachtsman, Gerry Hughes. The BSL piece is accompanied by versions in English and Shetlandic, specially created in response by poet Christine De Luca. Made with the Scottish Poetry Library's artist in residence, Kyra Pollitt, with funding from Creative Scotland, and with thanks to Gerry Hughes and Interface 3.

Fantastic! I absolutely love this! The poem, the video, the way it was edited, the inclusion of 3 languages, everything!

Amazingly visually brilliant! Eye-opening to see an ancient language from Shetland as well.
