This is an inspiring, magical and beautifully packaged collection
of Celtic poetry compiled by a leading authority on Celtic
tradition. Arranged into five thematic chapters, this anthology
reflects the uniquely Celtic love of nature, history, love, myth,
magic and spirituality. From the earliest times, the
language-loving Celts revered their bards: they established a
poetic tradition beginning in the 6th century with the intricate
magical verse of Taliesin. It continued in the rich medieval works
of Dafydd ap Gwilym and Rhys Goch and stayed strong in the 19th and
20th centuries with Gerald Manley Hopkins, and writers such as R.J.
Stewart, Robin Williamson and Catherine Fisher. Matthews has chosen
the finest works by the most diverse range of poets and translated
many of the oldest for this volume. His selection will offer
readers a window on to the world of the ancient Celtic peoples,
celebrating their culture and the great masterpieces of lyricism
and brilliance that have survived the ages.
