The Book of Ystwyth: Six Poets on the Art of Clive Hicks-Jenkins
No Customer Reviews
Stories of saints and animals, dark worlds of folk tradition, inanimate objects as actors on a stage, otherworldly landscapes--all these tumble from the drawings and paintings of Clive Hicks-Jenkins, who has been described by Simon Callow as 'one of the most individual and complete artists of our time.' Over the past dozen years, many writers have been prompted to give word to the unspoken narratives in Hicks-Jenkins' images. The Book of Ystwyth offers twenty-seven poems, many published here for the first time, placed alongside images that inspired them or reflect them. They are by six insightful writers: Three American, and three British; three women and three men. Experiencing these images and poems together will take readers on imaginative journeys of their own, reflecting on the rich themes running through the pairings. Originally published by Gray Mare Press in Aberystwyth, Wales, and in association with the National Library of Wales, the book is distributed in the USA by Carolina Wren Press.
