To turn, to dig, to plough, to upset, to translate... Bend, lap,
journey, time... The Welsh word troeon unfolds meaning after
meaning. In 'TROEON: TURNINGS', two poets confident in their own
traditions meet in the hinterland between translation and
collaboration - Cyril Jones from the disciplines of Welsh
cynghanedd, Philip Gross from the restless variety of English
verse. Rather than lamenting the impossibility of reproducing any
language's unique knots of form and content in translation, they
trust each other to explore the energies released. In the cloud
chamber, atoms tear, spin, split, translate the past and future
into spirals, spun silk, sheer release, the heart of the matter. In
the same spirit, Valerie Coffin Price plays an equal part with
striking letterpress designs that surprise the language of both
writers into new awareness of its possibilities.
