In "Ice" Gillian Clarke turns to the real winters of 2009 and 2010.
In their extremity they redefined all the seasons for her. Nature
asserted itself and renewed the environment for the imagination.
The poem "Polar" is the poet's point de repere, evoking a
polar-bear rug she had as a child and here resurrects in a spirit
of personal and ecological longing that becomes a creative act. She
lives with the planet, its seasons and creatures, in a joyful,
anxious communion. The book also includes the 'asked for' and
commissioned poems, and the "Guardian" spreads Clarke has written
during her time as National Poet of Wales (2008-2013). She follows
in the rich millennium-old Welsh tradition of occasional writing
going back to the first-known named British poets Aneirin and
Taliesin in the sixth century.
