Description:

Inspired by the positive reaction to our earlier bilingual Welsh/English poetry anthology about a Welsh road, A470 Poems for the Road/Cerddi’r Ffordd; we expanded our scope to Welsh rivers – any of them. with over 600 to choose from this proved a rich seam of invention for our Welsh poets, and a wide geographical range within Wales too. Our poets range from novices to luminaries of the Welsh Poetry scene. The outcome – 50 poems in their original language, whether that was English or Welsh, next to a translation, celebrating everything about Welsh rivers, from source to estuary, fresh and clean or culverted and polluted, childhood memory to recent flooding.
