Poetry
dealing with the 'matter of Wales' and the 'matter' of being Welsh-American,
developed through divergent poetics and perspectives; as attuned
to degrees of difference as those of connectedness; as attentive
to cultural cross-currents as to the 'other land'.
The
'other land' of Wales, Cymru,hen wlad fy nhadau, the mother ship
– as perceived by Welsh, American,American-Welsh or Welsh-American
poets.
