SONGS OF THE HEN OGLEDD by Hadley-James Hoyles

Songs of the Hen Ogledd evokes the voice of landscape: underground growls and mutterings; hoarse cries from rent earth, the howl of the wind amongst risen stones.

The poems in this pamphlet immerse you in the landscape of the Celtic Britons and steep you in History and the raw power of Nature.​

The firmament is shifting
It swats the skyline, grasping
The horizon and tearing at the fabric
Of the clouds. In the present tense
The whirlwind is un-see-able, untouchable
But ever touching. The peat-boil mist
Twitches.
