Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Wry wit and intelligence permeate this poetry collection, beginning with "Gold," which evokes the ghostly remnants of a gold rush boomtown. The author's travels across the U.S. and the north Wales coast inspire vivid portraits of eccentric characters and defining moments, intertwined with elements of Bluegrass and outdoor life. A notable feature is the sequence "Reading the Country," consisting of fourteen sonnets that explore the slate industry's history in north Wales, highlighting the stark beauty of abandoned quarries and the rugged lives of their workers.
