Visiting the Minotaur

Description

Mae’r casgliad o gerddi Visiting the Minotaur yn adlewyrchu ymchwil Claire Williamson i’w gorffennol o fewn teulu anodd a threisiol ar adegau. Er mwyn datgelu’r gwirionedd a dod i delerau â ffeithiau tywyll ei phlentyndod, mae’n ailgreu amgylchiadau, gan fenthyg cymeriadau o fythau, paentiadau a chwedlau.
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.
