The Bee Travels in Dark Times

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Yn ei hail gasgliad o farddoniaeth, mae Jeni Williams yn chwilio am felysrwydd mewn cyfnodau chwerw. Mewn byd ansicr a rhwygedig, mae dinasoedd yn crynu i adfail mwg; mae'r coll a'r dryslyd yn galw allan ar draws coridorau ysbytai; ac mae esgidiau rhy fach yn dod yn ddarnau yn y glaw.

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

In her second poetry collection, Jeni Williams searches for sweetness in bitter times. In an uncertain and fractured world, cities shudder to smoking ruin; the lost and confused call out across hospital corridors; and too-small shoes come apart in the rain.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Choose a honeyed place to make a harbour… In her second poetry collection, Jeni Williams searches for sweetness in bitter times. In an uncertain and fractured world, cities shudder to smoking ruin; the lost and confused call out across hospital corridors; and too-small shoes come apart in the rain. But, through the cracks, there are glimpses of flowers and small joys – bluebells and celandines, jasmine and honeysuckle, pomegranate syrup and cinnamon cake – a huge expanse of sky. As light emerges from darkness the characters of these poems sing out, readying themselves to begin again. Still here, and very much alive.
