Overview

Insinct is at the root of this sensory volume. This collection of poetry is inspired by the quarter of a second when something strikes and inspires a poem. Here are poems about memories, nature and belonging. They encompass Jo Heyde's life, from her early childhood to the present day, and the colours, textures and tastes emanate with the music of the cynghanedd and the Welsh language. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru

“Mae cyffro’r bardd o fod wedi darganfod y Gymraeg – ei geiriau, ei chynghanedd, ei phosibiliadau – yn pelydru drwy gloriau’r gyfrol hon. Fel ‘eiliad’ Waldo Williams, a ‘goleddf golau’ Emily Dickinson, mae cerddi Jo Heyde yn rhoi llais i brofiadau byrhoedlog a’u dal yn y dweud arhosol.” - Mererid Hopwood -- Cyhoeddwr: Cyhoeddiadau Barddas
