The title sequence of Making the Beds for the Dead charts the
journey of a virus in 'the plague year'. Come from outer space, it
travels - on a fox's paw, the beak of a kite and a crow and a
buzzard - into the very heart of our lives. The poet includes
personal, verses and stories from farmers in her family and
neighbourhood. The open structure allows the Gillian Clarke to
include her seven rock poems, written for the National Botanic
Garden of Wales; her poems based in archaeology; and her poems
about war, and urban violence. There is an instinctive and a
deliberate unity of theme and idiom in this book. The poet remains
true to her landscapes and her nation. The sequence 'The Physicians
of Myddfai', nine sonnets for Aberglasne, and much else is included
in this characteristically generous and engaging volume by Wales'
best-loved poet.
