Down the centuries, poets have provided Wales with a window onto its own distinctive world. This book gives a sense of the view seen through that special window in twelve illustrated poems, each bringing very different periods and aspects of the Welsh past into focus. Together, they give the flavour of a poetic tradition, both ancient and modern, in the Welsh language and in English, that is internationally renowned for its distinction and continuing vibrancy.
English translations of poems written by the renowned medieval Welsh poet Dafydd ap Gwilym.
"Loomis and Johnston have translated 111 poems into idiomatic English, while retaining the wonderful cadences of the Welsh. Sixteen leading poets of medieval Wales, including the acknowledged masters, Dafydd ap Gwilym and Guto'r Glyn, are finally available to English readers. Johnston brings his experience as pioneer editor and critic to this collaboration. Loomis's translations have been praised for their accuracy and their lyrical quality: His Dafydd ap Gwilym: The Poems (MRTS) has been widely acclaimed. The comprehensive introduction is supplemented by prefaces to each poet, generous commentary, a guide to Welsh pronunciation and maps. The volume is a delight to use."
Annotated translations of a selection of the Welsh fourteenth century poet's work together with the original Welsh text and a general introduction explaining the literary and historical background. First published in 1982.
2013 marks Dannie Abse's 90th birthday. In his lifetime he has published an astonishing array of work including poetry, fiction, criticism, plays and autobiography but it is as a poet that he is best known and loved. In Speak, Old Parrot he returns to themes of loss, love, medicine and its moral implications, the nature of creativity, Jewish folk tradition and the passing of time. The poems are observant of the outside world as well as the inner life and emotions but most of all they are a joy to read.
