Lord of the Running Rivers,
I was given two languages
To speak or, rather they have spoken me
Through different landscapes from a common spring.
Gwyneth Lewis
This groundbreaking volume is the first
bilingual anthology of Welsh women's poetry, demonstrating the rich, varied canon of poetry by Welsh women, in both the Welsh and English languages. It ranges from
Gwerful Mechain, the Welsh women's Chaucer, to acclaimed contemporary poets such as
Menna Elfyn and
Gillian Clarke, and many works which previously existed only in handwritten manuscripts in the National Library of Wales.
Including brief biographies of each poet, and some daring new translations, the editors have produced a superbly researched anthology that illustrates the breadth, power and skill of Welsh women's poetry.
