| Description: |
Includes the unwritten stories of Welsh women. In this title, the poetry has no gaudiness; instead, the reader is aware of a generosity of spirit which allows the poems' subjects their own unbullied reality. |
| Synopsis: |
The Welsh publishing house Gwasg Gomer published Gillian Clarke's first full collection of poems, "The Sundial", in 1978. In the twenty years since then the poet has become one of the best-loved and most widely read writers of Wales, well-known for her readings, for her radio work and her workshops. She combines traditional skills with an original voice and outlook, and with a history which includes the unwritten stories of Welsh women. Her "Selected Poems" has proven one of the most popular volumes of modern Welsh poetry, having gone through seven printings in a dozen years. 'Her language has a quality both casual and intense, mundane and visionary,' the "Listener" said of "Letter from a Far Country". "There is no gaudiness in her poetry; instead, the reader is aware of a generosity of spirit which allows the poems' subjects their own unbullied reality." Gillian Clarke is a severe critic of her own poems. "Collected Poems" includes all that she wishes to preserve of her work to date. |
