Overview
From the epic mythologies of the Mabinogion through to the present day, birds have exerted a powerful influence on the literature of Wales. This unique anthology brings together a remarkable range of poetry and prose, illustrating the varied and multi-layered responses of writers across the centuries. Birds are metaphors, cyphers for the human experience; they carry our hopes and emotions. Our lives and theirs are intimately connected, but they remain 'other'. Fragile yet marvellously enduring, birds are the spark for powerful writing, a cause of wonder, reverence and joyous celebration.Synopsis
