Download or read book Skirrid Hill written by Owen Sheers and published by Seren Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideas of separation and divorce--the geographical divides of borders, the separation of the dead and the living, the movement from childhood to adulthood, and the end of relationships--drive this poetry collection from one of Great Britain's rising young talents. The collection revolves around the poems "Y Gaer" and "The Hillfort," the titles themselves suggesting the linguistic divide in Wales, from poems concerned with childhood, a Welsh landscape, and family to an outward-looking vision that is both geographic and historic.
