Hymns Ancient & Modern, New & Selected Poems

Casgliad hyderus, pwrpasol a thaclus o gerddi amrywiol a doniol am y byd, pob un ohonynt yn adlewyrchu mewnwelediad gofalus a gwerthfawr o'r pwnc dan sylw, ond heb fod yn sentimental, boed yn gaffi swnllyd, llongau bach ar lyn neu gymydog yn marw mewn ysbyty.

Brookes handles with confidence and purpose poems both as neat and revealing as a mathematical equation, and poems that trip down the page on their rhymes. His subjects are as various as the world, often funny, in all the senses of the word, always unsentimental, each carefully observed and valued, whether a noisy cafe, model boats on a lake, or a neighbour dying in hospital.
