Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
Claire Williamson's poems in Visiting the Minotaur are evidence of her adventures into the labyrinth of her past in a difficult and sometimes violent family. To uncover the truths she craves, she reconstructs circumstances, often borrowing characters from myths or paintings or legends, in order to come to terms with the dark facts of her childhood.
