Opis

Presented here are translations of the works of six of the most able contemporary Welsh-language poets, writing in styles varying from vers libre to the ancient strict metres. These poets include Bobi Jones, Menna Elfyn, Emyr Lewis, Iwan Llwyd, Gwyneth Lewis, and Elin ap Hywel. In an introductory essay, Minhinnick questions whether modern writers working in an imperiled language might consider English translation of their poems as a form of adultery.
