25Th Annual Christmas Formal

In this new anthology of thirty-six poets from Wales, the underlying premise is that poetry reflects a state of astonishment before the world as well as the means for that astonishment. Within the ambiguous and half-ironic subtitle of Welsh World Poetry is encapsulated the idea that while these poems are by Welsh writers, they largely represent an outward-looking identity, or at times an exile's view, written from beyond our borders and inciting a deeper reflection on what our poetry is and might be. The Pterodactyl's Wing presents an exciting and unique opportunity to read work by younger or lesser-known Welsh poets writing in English.
