Encompassing more than 30 years worth of work, this poetry compilation explores the complexities of belonging in the world. While rooted in the rich particularity of industrial south Wales and the Welsh seaside resort, this collection's scope is global. Both lyrical and highly political, it mourns the ancient, savaged landscape of Iraq, listens to primeval echoes in the Welsh landscape, and celebrates the rhythms of the Americas. Including translations from six modern Welsh language poets, it demonstrates the interconnectedness of people and landscapes.
