FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Adulterers Tongue casts a brilliant light on the world of Welsh-language poetry. Poetry has been written in Welsh for over fifteen hundred years: an ancient literature, it is also a vibrant part of the culture of modern Europe, often overlooked by English speakers. Robert Minhinnicks translations bring six outstanding contemporary Welsh language poets into the spotlight, providing the Welsh texts en face. Minhinnick, himself a leading poet, is conscious of the responsibilities of translating out of a minority language. His versions take risks, but honour the originals forms and intentions, making audible a wide array of individual styles and voices. The poets here each in different ways remake the language and culture they inherit. This collection testifies to the abiding creative energy of the Welsh language and culture. The poets are: Bobi Jones, Menna Elfyn, Emyr Lewis, Iwan Llwyd, Gwyneth Lewis and Elin ap Hywel. Author Biography ROBERT MINHINNICK was born in 1952 and lives in south Wales.

Review "Robert Minhinnick is a poet of the moment. Not only because hes taken the less glamorous but more lucrative option of not being a dead poet, but also because his best work takes you and places you slap bang in the middle of an experience." --The Big Issue"Robert Minhinnick is the leading Welsh poet of his generation." --The Sunday Times Long Description The Adulterers Tongue casts a brilliant light on the world of Welsh-language poetry.
