Details
Ten poets, each with an American background and an active, creative engagement with Wales.
Featuring: Jon Dressel, Denise Levertov, William Greenway, William Virgil Davies, Margot Farrington, Anne Stevenson, Sarah Kennedy, Margaret Lloyd, Joseph Clancy, David Lloyd
Poetry dealing with the ‘matter of Wales’ and the ‘matter’ of being Welsh-American, developed through divergent poetics and perspectives; as attuned to degrees of difference as those of connectedness; as attentive to cultural cross-currents as to the ‘other land’.
The ‘other land’ of Wales, Cymru, hen wlad fy nhadau, the mother ship – as perceived by Welsh, American, American-Welsh or Welsh-American poets.
