Description: Llandysul: Gomer Press, 1993. First Edition; First Impression. Original Decorated Wrappers. ISBN: 0863839568. Signed, with dedication to Ann Byrne-Sutton. Slight wear to spine, cover and corners. Light creasing to spine. Crease on page 37/38. Occasional spot of foxing to top edge. ; "Castles" is a long poem of 36 variations on a theme, in six sections, each in memory of a friend or relative. The theme has two parts, first, an act of assertion, as of the building of a castle, and second, its collapse. Interwoven with the public theme of the castle there is a private dimension of the poet's friends and what they have meant to him. "Castles" is shadowed by death, but many other topics - nature, war, art, religion - are touched on. And, over all, the poem meditates on the country, Wales, it's history and people. ; 21 x 14.5 x 0.8cm; 90 pages. Very Good .
